random discounts or coupons to use for that purchase
extra appetizers
beverages
"tastes" of small plates of desserts or appetizers or whatever
as for the weirder experiences? Random people offer to share their food or drinks with me. Usually along the lines of I'll say something like, "hey that looks good, what did you get?" They'll respond with "so and so, do you want some." and then hand me their fork or cup. This happens to me all the time.
Is it flirting or just being friendly? I have no idea.
To answer your question, this is absolutely flirting.
What you expained NEVER happens to me. Granted, things are different for guys than women, but what you explained is not typical, not for guys anyway.
If this was "just being friendly", I imagine it would be a universal act.
I still laugh to myself when I hear about or witness a guy buying drinks for a whole table of women in hopes of getting a phone number or taking one home. I mean, does that actually work? IME, women usually laugh about is as if the guy is kind of an idiot for doing that, but for some reason, it still happens from time to time.

where are you shopping at when this happens? when I to the mall to buy clothes no one ever gives me a random discount
Really Jet! C'mon! This is starting to sound crazy. How is saying that actually going to win him points with the ladies whom pants he wanted to get into? It wouldnt. I know that some men can be dense but not that dense.
Ah, you underestimate slightly drunk out of towners from the central valley.
She asked him and he said 'I'm just not into her' or some variation of that. So, he wasn't buying the girls drinks to be nice, he was hoping to get in one of their pants. If that was the case I'm glad he ignored me.
Wait a sec...your girlfriend asked him why and that was his reply and then your friends did the shot???? C'mon. My friends would have said "you're an a-hole. Beat it." and how exactly does a friend relay that kind of response to you???

Now I'm questioning your friends.
It was afterwards. One of my friends was curious as to why I wasn't included so she asked him and that was his response. I didn't really care, she was the one who wanted to know. I think she was a little irritated about it.

Afterwards??? They weren't aware that you had to buy your own shot while they waited for the toast????
So then she was curious and asked him, got an answer and then decided to tell you to make you feel better???
This just ain't adding up. I think there's more to this story.

I think it was just really uncomfortable and awkward so they ignored it at the time. I laughed it off and bought my own really quick. The girl in question isn't a close friend, but she probably thought I should know. She spent the rest of the evening trash talking the guy and his friends which was interesting. Maybe my friendship dynamics are different than most.

All over the place. Just yesterday my sister and I got coffee at the mall. The person in front of us got the mall discount and we started joking yo ourselves we should pretend we work at the mall. The next thing you know, we got 15% off because of the mall discount when it was our turn in line.
Macy's sales reps always give me the random coupons and I never read their fliers. I buy something, they ask if I have the coupon and then say oh there was one in the paper today, let me give it to you now.
I bought some earrings and a necklace over the weekend, and the clerk said grab another bargain item from the bin (I got a free $30 bracelet, after spending $60)
I get free pastries withy coffee every couple visits.

Depends on the guys approach. For instance, if my girls and I are at a nice little lounge and a guy stops by our table and says something along the lines of: *walks to table* "Excuse me ladies, I apologize and really dont mean to interrupt you all, because of my interruption I would love to buy you all a drink. One round on me if you accept. All of you ladies are very very gorgeous, *then approaches the one he is most interested in*, but ma'am, wow I couldn't help but notice you from across the room. Do you mind if I have a moment of your time?"
This ^^^ does not get laughed at with me and my girls. We are not immature and we do appreciate a gentleman who recognizes we are ladies. With this approach the guy has not left out any friend, he has complimented us all, and he has taken notice to the one that he was most attracted to. None of us ever feel slighted because I typically roll with very confident girls and to be honest we all are honestly really quite attractive, so there is no jealousy. We are ladies and are always happy for one another when a nice quality, handsome gentleman approaches one of us.
Now if a guy comes by and creates this scenario: "damn ladies, I dont mean to interrupt, but can I buy you all a round of drinks? All of you are fine. So which one of you all are single?"
We accept the drinks but we see this as a bad sign so we pay him not much attention once the drinks are in hand. The latter scenario comes off as desperate and as if you don't care which one of us you can have, so long as you get one of us. Uuuum no, Ima need you to have a preference buddy. Lol. We are strong confident women and can handle one being singled out.
But NEVER is it ok to buy one drink for one and not the others.
Well, we were all standing around chatting, he ordered shots, handed them out and didn't give me one. Maybe he thought I didn't want one, but they waited until I bought one to do the 'toast' so that's the way I took it. It's definitely possible that I misinterpreted it, but from my perspective (and talking to one of my girlfriends afterwards) he just didn't want to buy me one. Maybe he thought I was with someone and didnt want to overstep his boundaries, even though I came alone. No big, I pay my own way anyway
I actually found it kind of funny
I'm the Khloe Kardashian of my group of girlfriends, they're short cute and thin, while I'm none of those things and there have many times where men have gone out of their way to make sure I know they're not interested in me. It really doesn't bother me anymore, they're obviously not worth my time and energy.
Nothing wrong with Khloe. She's not a real Kardashian (), but there's nothing with that big cutie.
