Sally Stretton said this "...how we would pay for dinner, split the check three ways which was easiest or itemize everything."

First of all, why not ask for SEPARATE CHECKS? This would alleviate a lot of problems. If the restaurant would not provide separate checks, then use the CALCULATOR on your cell phone! The calculator on the cell phone makes it very easy to figure out just what each person owes.

Splitting the check three ways evenly, is not fair to those who did not have three Pina-Coladas at $8-$10 in addition to their $20 meal choice. My dinner was only 10 bucks total and you spent almost $40 on yourself alone. Of course you feel it is easier to split the bill evenally. I took the time to cut out coupons and present them so I could save. You did not.

It sounds to me Sally like you and your friend were the problem. Don't make others pay for your expenses.
