Ok, Alex, I assumed you had a nice deep relationship with your friends, like my husband does with his friends. They will be friends for life and none of them are going to be baristas, I can assure you of that. As well, it has nothing to do with social pecking order. These people, no matter now much money they ever make or don't make, are at the same level.
But not one of them is lacking a sense of humor either. Nor a sense of confidence. Nor lacking in the concept of comraderie. Nor so sure of their superiority over the others that they can't stand good natured ribbing.

That's the key right there.

unless you said that with a huge **** eating grin on your face, you would be being petty and probably not be asked to the next happy hour.
I gave you advice too advanced for your current state. My apologies. I would delete it but others may learn from it.
