'That’s so gauche': Woman demands payment from dinner guests after they've already eaten

While hosting a dinner for friends, this woman accidentally confused everyone in attendance with her strange payment policy. The OP of this story, r/Pinkishrabbit, was so befuddled that they wrote to r/etiquette to figure out what was actually going on. 

As the OP tells it, they went for a dinner at a pal's house along with two other mutual friends. They had a nice time, until the next day, when the two friends began texting the OP that the host had asked them for money. Sure enough, the host asked each person to pay $7 for the food ingredients. "Am I wrong to be surprised by this?" the OP writes. 

In the comments, people dished out advice and etiquette lessons alike. Many told her that this woman was impolite, and advised the OP not to dine there again. However, it's possible this woman just didn't have the money to host a party, and panicked once she realized what she spent. Honesty would have been the best policy here.
