Splitting checks is always pretty cringe to me. I'm working class and someone usually always treats unless it's lunch, usually whoever invited people or whoever's turn it is, splitting a check in a resteraunt is so lame and feels sort of uncouth to me. Like I'm a poor as fuck bartender with a factory worker husband living in a 1 bedroom ground floor apartment, not a pot to piss in, and in my culture it's kind of seen as low class, I feel like when it's a rare situation where we would split a check (a mutual idea to go for a dinner, usually spur of the moment) it would be paid for in the resteraunt and then roughly sorted out later by bank transfer or whatever, but honestly I even feel like then the one who didn't pay for dinner would get drinks after or pay a taxi home or something, or just get the next one. I dunno, I'm a bartender and ive worked all-sorts of places over the last 2 decades and I feel splitting checks is kind of what lame people do, you know like that friend who asks for the £3.20 you borrowed back but doesn't offer to pay you back that £20 from the week before, like 'only child syndrome' type people 🤣🤣
