[quote=Anonymous]My worst group split check experience was when I was a grad student. I was presenting at a conference and the dean of my program invited me to go out for dinner with a few of her peers as there was one who she thought I would be a good connection. Turns out it was to a pretty expensive restaurant. The group was all senior administration and full professors - probably all making 200K+ a year. I was making 25K. It was a painful dinner for me as they ate and drank expensive bottles of wine for hours! I had ordered the cheapest thing on the menu (pasta) and drank water and even thought that was going to be really expensive for me and I hated paying $25 for a bowl of pasta (this was years ago). I should have just left and paid my bill myself on the way out but I wasn't sure how it would look to leave the meal early. It was pretty painful sitting there as they were all tipsy and knew each other well. Then the bill came and someone just told the waiter to split it evenly and everyone kept talking and thought nothing of it. I wasn't even sure if I had enough in my bank account to cover it and ended up putting it on my credit card. I don't remember the exact amount but it was somewhere in the $150-200 range. I was extra mad as had I known I would have ordered expensive food and drink myself and at least gotten some of my money's worth![/quote]
