Split checks. It is what I ask for before the waiter takes our orders.

But if you do have a large group, you usually do have to figure in tip. Almost all restaurants put an 18-20% automatic gratuity for parties of 6 or more. The other day this guy at a table of 10 people tried to give me his card before they even got the check and said "I got the burger and soda, put $9 on my card"...Originally Posted by Furrell
Its not my fault that split checks are annoying. They are more convenient for everyone who requests one. Its inconvenient for you because you don't want to handle the different methods like the waitress who almost lost my friend's debit card while handling her bill. Tax is mandatory, a tip is not. They don't have to figure it in when they pay.Originally Posted by Alchemiss
It's actually because split checks are really annoying. Table of 12 people and 12 separate checks all paying different methods. Working in the service industry has totally made me not want to go out to eat anymore, especially in large groups. So many people don't figure tax+tip in when they pay... if you don't have the $ to pay for your share properly then don't go out to eat right?Originally Posted by Furrell
Yeah they do it to get the gratuity and "recommended" tip.
Anyways split checks are almost 99% of the time requested by people 25 and under.
Regarding the bolded statement, I'll pay for my meal and include the tip and tax. That's MY share. I'm not covering anyone else.
