Oh boy did this ring a bell with me. Yes, this happened every Saturday to me too. I also remember times at parties or camping when I would make a beer run with a non-alcoholic friend or family member.
The most recent time my significant other's brother was treating for the whole group of jolly campers. Once we arrived at the store he grabbed a 24 pack of beer and started for the cash register. I remember thinking, "24 beers for eight people?!" A sense of panic set in as we drove way back to the campsite in the middle of nowhere.
