With my best friend, we take turns with the bill and if we forget whose turn it is, then it's not biggie one of us just grabs it. With other people I always ask for a separate checks because I am terrible about carrying cash.
We used to order in food a lot at work and it was always a hassle getting everyone to pay their fair share and contribute to the tip, we have a couple of cheapoo in the office, so it got to the point where one of us just had to call them on it and ask that they contribute fairly or order on their own. That worked. Now that I am dieting I am not part of that any longer and really glad for it. Not only do I save a lot of money, but I save a lot of hassle too. When they are all trying to figure out who owes what, I am happily eating my salad.
