[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Separate check, or just get your drink at the bar and close out immediately. [/quote]

OP here - but I think the problem with me getting my drink at the bar is that it won't be obvious that I've already paid if that makes sense. I think I need to do the transaction at the table so others can see "oh she already paid". Right? [/quote]

The danger with this is that Little Miss Olivia Organizer knew full well that you offered to pay $15 as you were leaving last time, but still invoiced you later for $40.

How do you know that she won’t still include you in a split invoice later??? [/quote]

So what if she does?  OP can say she had a separate tab and paid it before she left.  Organizer can send invoices to whoever she wants, but OP is under no obligation to pay anything if she paid for all her own food and drink already.[/quote]

Also, I’m in one group where it evens out over time, as we generally spend about the same. We just split.

In another, I try to be more aware. There’s a vegetarian and another person who doesn’t drink. If we just split all the time, the same two people would always get screwed. That’s not fair and whether I can afford it or not, I wouldn’t want to take advantage of my friends like that. [/quote]
