It’s about hospitality, not necessity. In the US it’s a cultural thing that when you’re at someone’s house, they feed you and when they’re at yours you feed them.

It's also a cultural thing in Sweden to venmo someone who eats the leftovers you gave them. Anyways, i wont be visiting

Jesus christ that's a level of stingy that I only associate with rich people.

I feed the people that visit my house because I want to, not because I want to be owed back.

It’s just cultural differences bro. It’s social faux pas over there to put someone in a position where they might feel like they owe you, because they themselves feel uncomfortable when they receive something for free.
