I'm a tech guy. I dont mind the occasional redistribution of wealth from corporations. I can even appreciate exploits found in the wild like this or doing hacking when it doesn't hurt people.

What this signals, though, is that you are cheap. I side with the girl on this. It's a date. Pay for the meal and show her you can be normal first.

Or maybe, just maybe, we should love people as they are and not make up stupid societal bullshit to follow for an indeterminate amount of time. I get you don't want to let out all the crazy before you know someone, and maybe this really is too much up front and your point stands. But I don't think it's that grevious. Maybe they are cheap, or maybe they wanted to show how skilled they are, or maybe they thought "this is really cool to me, I hope she finds it cool too".

Either way it's clear she's not a fit for him. But that's kind of a stupid note to end things on. I hope he finds someone more tolerant and understanding that takes an interest instead of being judgy and "weirded out" by essentially a hobby.

Nah. Being cheap is a frustrating personality trait.

Source: obsessively cheap, penny pinching father. Just pay for the damn nuggets like a normal person.

Maybe he's not cheap at all. Maybe he just wants to stick it to the Man in small ways, with 30 nuggies as a reward for his hard work.
