A lot of people here seem to hate smokers in generall, I assume it's due to their culture, since smoking is pretty normal in my country and europe in generall
Besides from a extra fee (which would be illegal in my country), who tf could afford 32$+18%+taxes for two bowls of pasta? At my local italian restaurant you get 2 bowls spagethi for 20€ (including taxes)
It could be a pyramid scheme, or not written well.
I think your friend probably understands it as "I send book to stranger, I recieve book from stranger" but it's actually meant as "I send book to stranger, OP recieves book from stranger"
