[quote=Anonymous][quote]Asking the host how the bill will be handled is fine, of course, but asking the waiter for 8 separate checks + birthday person's check split 8 ways and added to those checks is a PITA. Splitting evenly among guests makes more sense, even if it is unfair for the person who drinks a glass of wine and then looks on like a hawk when another guest has 2 glasses of wine and - gasp! - a cocktail.[/quote] PP here. I'm usually on the cheap end of the food ordering as I almost never order a meat or fish main course, however I do like both wine and cocktails. I don't expect anyone to 'subsidize' my meal and actually prefer to split according to spend. But the splitting should be done by the dinner party (easiest - people calculate their share off the common bill and everybody pays their part + tip in cash), not by the server.[/quote]
