That’s why I think its more important to be on the same page as people as far as how money is spent. The absolute worst are the people who want to live large and order champagne and lobster at every meal but insist the bill always only be split evenly, even when the rest of the table only ordered a glass of wine and the chicken. We’ve all met these “Only cheap people look at the bill” people who then of course only use it to rip off their friends and have them subsidize their expensive tastes that they don’t want to pay for.

The only good, fair options for a group is one pick up the check, credit card roulette or separate checks. Credit card roulette is always my first choice with a bunch of guys.
