Sharing the lunch bill

[javasaurus]

I'm not a fan of the "let's just divvy it up" at lunch. Most of the time, everyone's meal is about the same price, so no big deal. But invariably, there is someone who orders the full rack of ribs, or the two glasses of wine, when everybody else is having a sandwich and tea. They're usually the first to say, "let's just split the bill." In today's case, he also wanted to short the tip.

Some people can be so cheap. They just don't realize that for every penny they pinch that hard they lose three times that in goodwill and character.

This is the reason I quite often request separate checks - some people I know are quite notorious for skimping on tips, 'forgetting' to add tax, etc.

It takes a particular branch of shamelessness to do that, and I think I am happy to say my mother has not installed that in me.
