      I agree. Who goes to a restaurant that’s clearly an upscale restaurant with no discussion of the bill prior? That’s just a recipe for disaster. Everybody should just pay for what they ordered. Period. I don’t care if people or dating or whatever, that should’ve been discussed beforehand, not once the bill arrives. What if one person orders lobster and the other a salad? They should split it equally? Nah, that’s unfair, unequal, and inequitable.

    Everything about that is disgusting. The insanely expensive restaurant with people who don't have that kind of money, the yelling in a restaurant where other people are trying to enjoy a meal, the ripping off of the people who didn't drink the Champaign. The likely stiffing of the waitstaff on the tip. They should have gone to Popeyes.

    I was a server for over ten years…. When I had big parties like this. I bring up the bill BEFORE I take ANY ORDERS. I say I need everyone to have a clear understanding of who’s paying, who needs separate checks, and who is on the same check. I announce that I DO NOT split bills after the meal, nor to I divide checks. If it’s not stated beforehand, it MUST be paid by one credit card (no cash accepted at big parties -my rule). All my managers LOVED this and made it the standard at literally every restaurant I worked at. (I worked at high end sushi bars in an expensive tourist area). I NEVERRRR HAD ANY PROBLEMS 😂😂😂😂

    My wife and I went to a dinner with some people that we were friendly with but not really friends (maybe more correctly associates). This was at a sports bar, not a high dollar place. We are not drinkers but most of the group, apparently, was. I have no problem with them drinking but I'm not paying for it. The bill came, leader of the pack says everybody put in $100. I was like hold up Bud. My wife and I ordered $14 dollar burgers and iced tea. That comes to about $35. Here's $50 for the food and tip. I'm not paying for your night on the town.
    After that, whenever there was a function that brought us together, leader of the pack couldn't help but call me out as being cheap. After several such instances, I finally had enough of it. He started in with something about my wallet squeaking when I open it. I laughed and said, in front of the group that it wasn't because I was cheap , I just wasn't going to enable his alcoholism. Everyone laughed a little and I think he got the message that I was done with the nonsense.
    I'd never expect anyone to pay for me, even if it was my birthday. If you want to be Mr Big Shot and spend stupid money, go ahead, have a ball. Just be prepared to pay for it.

I’ve caught 2 restaurants doing it and had to chat with their managers about it. However it usually doesn’t happen at more upscale places in my experience.

      Usually the birthday person doesn’t pay. But also usually people don’t expensive things in big groups and people split by item or break it even. But it also depends on how close you are. The money matters less with close family and friends or one person pays and it is split later after we leave.

    I went to a family dinner of a friend, and the amount of food some of the people ordered was insane. I had a bowl of pasta and a beer, whilst many others had starters, mains, desserts. They ordered sides that I didn't touch, or a drop of the 6 or so bottles of red wine they consumed. The bill came to £875 and they truly expected me to pay £90.....my friend stood up and said "no way" she not paying that amount for a bowl of pasta!!! They were shocked.
    They honestly thought they could offload their gluttony onto my purse without even considering that I ate the least. I honestly think it is a greedy and ignorant expectation of some people, who believe the less greedy of the group should compensate them for stuffing their faces. Such entitlement.
    At least 5 of them should have paid £140 each, but they refused. My friend ordered duplicate bills and made each of them cross off their food order. The waiter came around and charged their card for that amount.... Epic!!! I really respected her for that.
    Once everything settled down, I
    ordered a taxi, my friend made a joke and asked everyone who had initially fussed and expected to split the bill, if they could all collectively pay for my cab 😂😂😂😂 Their faces was a picture...... I will never get roped into having a gathering again unless the bill is discussed before ordering.

Instead, you look at the cheapest items and the moderately priced items, and you pick from there something you like, or something you can work with. As an adult, I don't even do the "What can I afford" thing on someone else's dime because I'm expensive. I do the "What would I want to pay if I was broke and treating someone else". It never fails. I actually get scolded for picking something cheap and budget friendly sometimes.

    I never understood the "split the bill" mentality (And I worked as a server for over 10 years, and virtually never saw anyone else do this either). I get one person treating everyone at the table, I do that. I get everyone paying for their own ticket (easily done, the server just has to do a little bit of extra work, and we are prepared to do that). I get splitting the Birthday girl's dinner amongst the whole group (everyone paying a little more as a present), but I don't get why anyone would split the bill evenly. That just guarantees someone is getting screwed at the table.

      @@Carmen698 Three Points for this:
      1) You are going into this dinner with this tradition in mind so you can plan and order accordingly.
      2) You intentionally order similar items, while sharing an item (part of the planning accordingly). You are not ordering $100 worth of food while your friend orders $20, and expect her to pay $60. (Which is what happened in this situation)
      3) It is still a very weird thing to do. I imagine it is for the bonding experience, but you are still paying separately, just with your actual total being off a bit. It takes virtually no extra effort for the server to split the shared appetizer and you pay your actual amount correctly. If you want to bond like that, alternate paying for the whole meal (so it's all on one check). It would make it actually faster, easier, and you'd be bonding even more since you are treating each other.
      Your current plan has you both still paying separately, still making the server split your check, but you are limited from ordering anything significantly more expensive than the other if you feel like it, without being rude.
