That happened to me at a dinner out with co-workers & the store manager at the Cheesecake Factory. I was the only one who didn't order an appetizer, multiple drinks, etc. I even ordered water and a modest sandwich compared to my co-workers entree's, cheesecake and bar drinks because I was on a tight budget. Turns out, they all had some inside info from another employee that the manager would be paying for the meal and were being hogs as a result. LOL! BUT when the check came it was way over what the manager was willing to pay for. She put $150 towards the bill and said we could all SPLIT the remainder!!!!! I ended up paying $25 for a $8 sandwich and glass of water. I felt completely robbed. Still irks me to this day. Now I always ask for a separate check or I bring plenty of cask to cover my cost.
