seen friend groups in restaurants and pubs do the "whoever touches their phone picks up the tab" game already and it does a lot of good to communal experiences.

just to be clear, I am not saying all of this from a position of superiority, but very much as someone who has to actively combat his inner urge to reach for the phone regularly.

I thought it is standard etiquette to have your phone on silent (not vibration) and in your pocket if you meet with anyone. Making it payable breaks the social contract (a la Freakonomics)
