group dinner etiquette can be quite complicated, esp if you any cheapasses who don't want to pay their fair share.

separate checks if anyone prefers it or if you know one or more are likely to underpay the group tab. otherwise, one check and ppl pay for what they ordered on one check unless everyone ordered similar priced items (+/- $1-2).

i don't think it's fair for the person who orders steak and lobster to pay the same as someone who orders a soup and salad.
