[quote=Anonymous]I'm a waitress and I've seen young people venmo each other at the spot and one pays, but they were young adults. Usually if a group of youngsters comes in, they all want separate checks and it takes longer and quite frankly, it's pain to separate check. If they do tempt to calculate their share, they leave out the tax. The last person quite often only pays what's left and tips on the $5 for example that was left. They don't understand that others paid for his/her portion and that's why she/he needs to leave the tip.
This is what I've told my teen. He pays for it all and keeps the receipt. They can all figure it out later, not sit at the restaurant and haggle. If his friends can't calculate, don't have money or are cheap, it's on him and not shorting a waiter.
There is so much more to sending a teen to a restaurant than tipping.
 I love my young customers and little children and I want then to keep coming back. If we are out of a soda they want, they give you this look as if I drank them all. After apologizing profusely, they usually forgive me. Kids are funny.
Just remembered, got one of those looks when a parent told me to tell the kids that we were out of icecream.
