Japanese Culture

I learned a little lesson about Japanese culture yesterday.

Two girls went to the store together to buy some ice cream. A-san wanted to buy ice-cream bar X for 125 yen but had to settle for ice-cream bar Y, because she only had 105 yen. B-san also wanted to buy ice-cream bar X and had enough money to do so, as well as to spot A-san the difference so she could have ice-cream bar X, too. But instead, in a show of solidarity, B-san bought ice-cream bar Y. Why? That's just how the Japanese roll.

I would have spotted A-san the difference. What about you?
