My parents and grand parents always taught me to offer to share food when others do not have their own to eat. I think a person should offer to share the selection even though the others declined to order their own selection. I usually only dine with friends or relatives so I would not want to treat them badly. Now if someone is taking advantage of the situation continously, you have the choice of deleting them from your dining partners list or if you value their friendship over the cost of the food, then live with it.
Just my thoughts. Others may have other ideas.
