It’s Valentine’s, so we want to know if it’s acceptable to use a 2for1 restaurant voucher on a first date. We’ve asked this over previous years - so let’s see if attitudes have changed. (PS: Yes we know splitting the bill/the woman paying are more than valid options, but that’s a poll for another day…) Imagine Robert asks Ashley to dinner on a first date, saying he’ll pay. When the bill comes, he pulls out a 2for1 voucher – what advice would you give Ashley?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
