Some people are afraid of spiders, while others are afraid of clowns. What are we most afraid of? Going out to dinner with friends and splitting the bill evenly (even though we only ordered an appetizer and a soft drink).
Restaurant bill etiquette is a lost art; when did we decide that splitting the bill evenly is fair? That is equality, not equity, and disproportionate to the menu items purchased and what specific guests intended to spend. If you're splitting the check evenly, be prepared to realize that most of your friends tend to order more when they know someone else will cover a large share of their bill.
How do you beat the restaurant freeloaders at their own game? Is there some secret handbook that you don't have access to? Well, you can just do what they do, but it will be worse. The dinner companion in this next story ensures they get their money's worth when their repeat offender freeloading friend tells the waitress that the two will be splitting the check evenly.
