[quote=Anonymous]Before even ordering, you agree as a group how to handle the check by saying "can we do separate checks?" or "are we doing separate checks?"  This doesn't apply if you aren't worried about cost or if you plan to eat and drink a lot.

If you feel awkward, and you are on a budget and you know you won't eat or drink much and so far there is going to be one check, let everyone else order, then go last and say to the wait person quietly, can I get a separate check?

Split the check evenly with a smaller group and when you have ordered the approximate same dollar amount.  If the table orders an appetizer, go ahead and eat at least one serving , you will end paying for it anyway in the split. If you ordered less by a nominal amount, the others will usually say something about how they will pitch in a little more for the tip. If the amount difference exceeds $10 ($5 if you are really on a tight budget), split the cost of the food/tax and then ask the others to cover the tip but make sure to do the math to insure this is fair and covers the extra amount you are paying above the food cost and is not asking the others to pay more.

And again, if money is not a concern, then just split evenly and don't worry about it. [/quote]
