[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a waitress for years in college. It is not difficult to split checks according to chairs. The waiter/waitress should have taken the orders for food and drinks accordingly and they can split any joint items like appetizers or desserts into as many pieces as needed.

[b]That being said, I just always split the bill evenly. Generally speaking it'll all work out in the end if these are people you spend time with on a regular basis.[/b] [/quote]
This doesn't work out fairly at all if you have a mix of drinkers and non-drinkers.  At the very least you should have two bills and split those: one for food and one for alcohol.[/quote]

This, and I don't eat meat, and most things I order are much cheaper and I don't usually get an appetizer or desert.  [b]People order more knowing someone else will subsidize them.[/b]  [/quote]

I can only think of one person I know who acts like this (my BIL, married to my husband's sister). He will order multiple appetizers and entrees and take the food home when he thinks someone else is picking up the bill. It's gross.

Otherwise, I don't have any friends who would purposefully eat or drink more on the basis that someone else will be picking up part of the bill. If you know people like that you need to stop eating out with them...[/quote]
