#6 : The Bill, Please! — Rachel, James, and the Check
from Real Korean - For Travel · host GAL Podcasts
Dinner is done, the grill is cooling, and now comes the moment of truth: Who pays, and how?In this episode, Lucy watches as Rachel and her new friend James finish their feast. They’ve had a great time, but now they need to handle the bill at the front counter. Should they split it? Does one person pay? How do you even ask for the check in a busy Korean restaurant?While 'Dutch Pay' is very common among friends in Korea now, sometimes one person wants to treat the other. If James offers to pay, Rachel can say 'Jal meogeosseumnida!' (I ate well!) as a polite thank you. But if they want to keep it simple, 'Tta-ro' is the magic word for the cashier to swipe two different cards!
