🏆 C > A > BSurprise! A happy "thank you" is better than splitting.
Only Taking

If you only say, "Yay, thank you!", you can become someone who only takes.

Always Splitting

"No, no, let's split it" is very proper, but the connection can get a little thin.

Give and Take

The best answer is "Thank you! Next time is my treat."

You get, you give back, and the friendship keeps going.
