[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went out to an extravagant (at least for me!) dinner with a friend, my 1 kid and her 2 kids. The kids behaved beautifully and the dinner was a great success. The bill came ($500!) and I said to my friend, let’s just split it. The kids had ordered the exact same things ($60 per kid) and the adult tabs were similar. My friend said no and asked the waiter to split the bill by what we ordered.

Waiter must’ve thought all 3 kids were mine and came back with the kids meals on my bill, so now my “half” of the bill is practically $200 more than my friend. I said something to my friend (waiter wasn’t there) and friend was basically like “oh well, no biggie, it’s kids meals”). I am/was pi$$ed! But paid and did not make a deal of it.

What would you have done/how should I have handled. [/quote]

I would have called to waiter over and told him that 
he made a mistake and that I only had one child.  $120 plus the top is a lot of money.

When going out with other people, I always ask for a separate check. I don't drink so I am not paying for alcoholic drinks for other people.  I was m allergic to seafood so I am not paying for lobster, shrimp,or crab ordered by other in the party

I was burned by a couple a few times and I learned my lesson.
