What's the controversy? Does anyone actually defend her behavior?
It may be petty, but George was actually very much in the right for a change. It's very odd behavior to accept a "thank you" for something with the person that actually bought what you're being thanked for standing right there.
Seems like a no brainer to answer with a "you're welcome, George bought it". That's what I would have said in this situation.
Likewise. I also agreed with George. If you hand an item to someone it's assumed you purchased it. Not the guy standing next to you.
But was Elaine under the impression that she bought it? George was cheap but why Elaine still think George didn’t pay and the fact she didn’t know that woman.
That's the idea. That's the joke. Elaine assumed George's girlfriend bought it because she handed the bag to her. That's the point.
