[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's always the people with the most kids saying, "let's just split the food bill!" just like it's always the boozers at the group dinner saying "let's just split the check!"  LOL[/quote]

This! In my 20's I used to go to big group dinners for no special reason and every single time someone would insist on splitting the check. I was young and dumb and always wound up paying 3-4x what I actually consumed. Eventually my wallet took a hit, I wised up stopped going to them except for family and close friends. I am not penny pincher, but I didn't like paying for strangers who ordered half the wine and food menu for themelves and I ordered a chicken wrap.
 
Now, I avoid lopsided check splitters. No one in their right mind doesn't realize that nine times out of ten buying food for 6 people will cost more than food for 1-2 people or that their dinner bill totals $200 and others only $20.  I am convinced that they know exactly what they are doing and really only care that their financial burden is eased, especially in situations when the person has children and others do not. Here is a test. Next time you dine with a lopsided check splitter order an after dinner brandy and 3 desserts to go and see if they get annoyed!  [/quote]
