“The funny thing is people won’t let me pay for things. I’ll be in a restaurant and the manager will say, ‘Oh no, it’s on the house.”
— Richard Branson
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when a person is famous or well-known, people treat them differently. For example, if a famous actor goes to a restaurant, the manager might give them their meal for free because the actor is a celebrity. This can happen because the manager wants to impress the actor or hopes the actor will recommend the restaurant to others. It's a way for the manager to get some free publicity. Even if the famous person wants to pay, the manager won't let them. In life, this shows how having a certain status or recognition can lead to special treatment that most people don't get.
