Why should we split the bill in half with a couple who spends $180 while we are spending $70? Some have been brazen enough to say we owed half, split right down the middle in situations like that. I rue the day I agreed to split the bill with a "friend" who ordered a $35 entree plus appetizer, an a la carte salad, 3 mixed drinks, dessert, and cappuccino, while I ordered a $16 entree and a glass of wine. I was used, and won't let it happen again.

I think you missed my earlier post when I said that I love it down here because seperate checks are the norm. Someone asked if seperate checks wasn't a common practice all over the country and I shared my past. I agree with you entirely. That's also why I love cruising, no check splitting.
