I got used for a cool thousand (I'm a student and I have no income) by someone I considered my best friend. I learned my lesson the hard way. I hate people like that.

When the bill comes tally your amount of the bill and an appropriate amount for tax, usually a dollar or two, but do not include your amount for tip. Write your last name and the amount you owe on the back of the check and tell the server to run your card or give you change accordingly. <br /><br />Even if they can't split the bill, they can run multiple cards and you can tell them exactly how much you owe. Never include the amount for tip however because the server can't usually run cards for more than the total of the bill and also shady people will use the tip money you put in to pay for their portion of the meal.

And there is always that guy who just wants to split everything evenly because it will be easier -even though he's the one with the $30 steak on the bill.

When we're at a bar, we usually take turns and buy each other drinks, so in the end, it always ends up fair. I stopped going out to eat with my friends who were like that, it solved the problem!
