[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will pay the whole bill myself before I will let it be split into 6 separate checks or before I will sit there and calculate what everyone needs to Venmo someone else. Absolutely not. [/quote]

That's fine when you're affluent.  Many people can't afford to subsidize other people's meals.  Chipping in an extra $100 beyond what you ate or drank could be trivial for one person and devastating for another, depending on their budgets.  There's nothing petty about tossing in 1.5 x the cost of your meal (which comfortably covers tip and tax) when you're on a strict budget and ate much less than everyone else as a result.

PP, I've gone out with friends when I was in grad school and had like no money.  This was a point in my life where a meal would be half of a pack of pasta roni or the like.  I'd specifically just order a side because I wanted to hang out with people, but couldn't afford more than that.  Everyone else would have a full meal + dessert + drinks.  If someone waited until the check arrived and then suggested splitting evenly, that would be unreasonable because I couldn't afford it, and had I known that people expected me to pitch in a ton of money, I would have at least ordered a meal, too.
