IDGAF if I'm at a dinner party with 4 or 20 or if things are split or not. I sit beside whoever, enjoy a good conversation, eat and drink and then at some point hand someone my card at the end. I make sure to never be the person that needs to be the "go to" between the group and the server. But that's because I'm a laid back cool dude I guess.

I do love when Sloot gets on her waiting days high horse and offers to go split them up herself. Pretty hot, tbh.
We tried to split it up first thing at the drink order...but no, that is just too difficult...they offered to split it up to 4 ways, but the 6 or 7 we asked for before anything was even ordered was just too difficult...idiots.
It was actually a pretty nice set up, aside from their poor check skills.

Boston (and rest of New England) does not split checks. Whether you’re at Applebee’s or Legal Seafood or Capital Grille. No matter if you inform them in advance or not. They’ll claim their software won’t let them :

Infuriating. They’re just trying to act high end. So dumb.

I just pray you vocalized your displeasure, loudly announcing how much their poor service was affecting your usually generous tipping skills, and rubbed the entire ordeal in their face as you stiffed them on the gratuity.
STK was groups of 4, and that was confirmed by the servers & the party prior to ordering.
Amazing how easily proper communication works.

Again, we asked, dumbass. He told us we'd take care of that at the end. Then acted all offended and said it would take 45 minutes when he brought 1 bill for 16 people.
We made the reservations, there we 30 people sitting back to back with us at STK.

I'll tell you what's REALLY gonna suck -- asking the server in Vegas to split the check 197 ways at drxman's bachelor party.
It's in mid August.....should we call ahead *now* and warn them?

I find that asking, loudly and with a *tone*, to speak with the manager gets results. Often immediately.
Firing a couple of warning shots in the air probably would've done the trick imo
This thing is ridiculous.
100% lock that FatGuy fapped all over his keyboard after scrolling through this document.
Sometimes around Christmas my whole family (about 13 or 14 people) go to Chuy's
I pay all large tabs with a napkin with a credit card number written on it.
Bet you just get the chips and salsa and order pitchers of water. Then smugly tell the waitress to split the bill 14 ways.
I’ve never understood the reason to sit 16 deep at a table. You can’t talk to half the people comfortably so why not break it up into two groups of 8?
I really shouldn't like champs post what with the whole injured young man thing but I kinda want to.
I'm guessing you told them who you were, but since you weren't in Lexington it didn't have the same effect?
So, in order for you as a server to split up a 16 top, the table itself has to be physically split?
Not at all I wouldn’t think. I’m saying in purely the aspect of you can’t hear each other most likely anyway.
I mean as long as you stay sitting where you started and don’t move around and order stuff from different seats I can’t imagine it would be that difficult.
It's to make sure you make the group photo that the waiter/waitress begrudgingly gets asked to take, in turn telling you the check can't be easily split.
I mean without the group photo wtf is even the point
I don’t think anyone really minds the pics as long as you don’t want the same pic taken on multiple phones, that’s annoying. Hell, I have to take multiple pics a day being in a vacation area. I doubt servers/bartenders in St. Louis get asked to take a lot of photos.
I was making a broader-based quip, Rogue. Thanks, though.

Can't imagine how splitting up a check is that much of a pain unless your system sucks or the server sucks/is lazy when putting in the orders. The only parties I always hated were the old bitties who ordered quiche and hot tea and tipped the change on their $9.14 bill.
Bartenders today have it easy. Open/pour a beer, simple shots, and the occasional tropical drink. 20 years ago we made the **** out of rock lobster shots, melon balls, purple hooters, Dr. Pepper shots, etc.
Did love the fact that you could make a mai tai, hurricane, sex on the beach, or a rum runner the same exact GD way as the other and pass it off with no problem.
Bottles of sloe gin, cherry liqueur, sambuca, amaretto probably go untouched for years at most bars now.

Believe I saw boat eat 3 steaks and 2 burgers. 1 steak was at a sort of strip club (but not really.)
13, 16, no difference. We're talking split about 5 ways. 2 of the people only ordered a couple drinks.
I was pretty darty drunk but I don't recall a group picture. I hate group pictures.
Amazingly we ate and drank about 15 other places that weekend without troubles.

Maybe it was just Nashville fatigue but I enjoyed the tournament being in St. Louis. Ballpark Village was sort of a less intimate Jock and Jill's. It was nice congregating with other fans in the same building instead of trying to squeeze into eleventyhundred bars. Also, props to St. Louis on how easy it is to get around that city. Most people I talked to there were ready for another site and liked the cheaper hotels and ticket prices. Had several say this was the first time since Atlanta they had bought tickets for the game.
Liked the Scottrade Center also. Could do without the cold that comes with hockey arenas but not a bad seat in the house including the uppers. They put a lot of time in production also and was a huge fan of the playlists. That song from Rocky before tipoff Sunday was a nice touch.

One of my points to the server was how do you manage to get everyone’s food delivered to the right seat (by food runners) if we don’t all have a seat number? Just combine seat numbers on a check based on the seat position. It’s not that effing hard. Now I’m mad all over again. Props to the accountant Beans for dividing it up and balancing it to the penny.
We still make a bunch of stupid shots, especially with spring break in town. It’s all about green teas at the moment. I’ll split your tab up but I’m not splitting one shot 3 ways, not happening.
No one drinks any sloe gin, Pimms or a bunch other stuff anymore, thankfully.
And yes making a rum drink that’s pinkish should do the trick for about half to 3/4 of your “island” drinks. I do have to make about 25+ mojitos a day though. But can’t complain about that when you move to an island to bartend.
