Got to cut out white trash and groups of more than 4 people, if that's your goal. I don't think that I've been at a large group dinner yet, where someone didn't elect himself 'treasurer' to collect up the money for the bill, so that they can stiff the wait staff on the cheque, to pay for his own meal.

These I would class as "acquaintances", not friends, and I go for separate cheques

Separate checks is the way to go.

It cracks me up when servers get annoyed by that.

You're more likely to get a 20%+ tip from ten people paying $10 each than you are on a $100 check.

The last time that I let myself be tagged into a group bill was about 5 years ago. It was a birthday dinner. I paid for my own dinner and for the birthday girl, plus about a 30% tip because we'd gotten great service. When the 'banker' was done adding things up she mysteriously came up about $40.00 short, and started asking everyone for more money. I think that the server ended up with about 10% after that.

Never again. I'm not going to be lumped in with cheap assholes.

Been there too many times, we would go out I would have an appetizer and 2 beers and the "banker" would want like 40 bucks from me.
