I definitely won't short it, but I don't want to subsidize your meal, especially back when I was broke and that was the reason I wasn't ordering everything on the menu.
Of course I have my good group of friends that we all pay for each other at times and know it will even out, as well my financial situation is very different so that it isn't as critical, but I see no reason for people not to just figure out what they owe and put in a fair amount.
Now the people that end up not putting in enough, that's another rant altogether......

Ha! Just wanted to comment on your avatar. Met some Calgary people who came down when the Flames played the Cats here last season. The one guy's biggest complaint was that he couldn't get Jack Daniels at the BAC,only Crown Royal. He was pretty toasted and kept yelling"what? this is America? " Awesome.
