If you ever walk into a restaurant and immediately feel uncomfortable because you're wearing cargo shorts, a t-shirt, and sandals and everyone else is wearing, at the very least, business casual, go with that initial urge to walk out. Don't stand there, entourage in tow, waiting to be seated and then subesequently allow yourselves to be seated. Just run. Don't even ask for a menu to check the prices. Just smile politely, turn around and lead the way out the door.

And on a related note, if you're ever talking to a man who's travelled the world and probably once paid more for a piece of toast than you've ever paid for an enitre meal, don't follow up on his dinner suggestion just because he says the price "wasn't too unreasonable". Even if he tries unsuccessfully to pull out a receipt from the suggested restaurant to show you just how unreasonable. And especially don't listen to him if he's had a few drinks.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, Mr. Killagain. I'll be forwarding my co-workers' tabs to you in hopes of earning back the right to make dinner suggestions in the future.
