[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely hate it when one or two people decide to order bottles of wine or appetizers “for the table” and then expect everyone to share the cost. It’s obnoxious. If you want it, order it, and then pay for it. Let everyone else do the same. [/quote]

I agree this is obnoxious. It is as obnoxious as someone that itemizes a check down to the nickel during a meal where this didn't happen and everyone is roughly within 20 bucks of each other.

I loathe the itemizers OP, and I also tend to overpay than underpay. It speaks of a great lack of generosity. IMO the spirit of the event should be that all the friends want it to be easy and equitable. So if someone orders a bottle of wine then they volunteer to chip in more at the end, but getting into the details is annoying and awkward. I would prefer people on a budget just pick a less expensive restaurant. [/quote]

As someone who is on a budget, I'd rather go to a nicer place but order strategically (itemize and order say an entree and a glass of water for myself) than subsidize meals and drinks at a cheaper restaurant I don't like as much. [/quote]
