[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With most of the groups I go out with, we all just throw in what we owe.  Now that we're all in our late 30's-early 50's, we have more money and the tab almost always comes out a few dollars over the tab + 20% tip.  I can't remember the last time we had to dig for extra money.

A lot of waiters will do separate checks without asking and I love that, though I do try to bring cash whenever I'm going out with a big group, to make it easier on the server.

I'll split the check if it's just a few of us and we ordered similarly.  But with a big group, what people order can be very different, especially with liquor in the mix.[/quote]

YEs, I say this is how I knew we were finally grown up -- when there is extra money and everyone just says to leave it for the server.  When we were young, it was really annoying, because the total would come up short and you'd look around and think, "Which one of these friends is a [b]cheap glass bowl[/b]?"[/quote]

Great typo![/quote]

It's a Carolyn Hax expression, not a typo.  Wish I could remember to use it in real life in the heat of the moment!
