That might work for small groups. I've been at multiple dinners for 8+ people where, after we'd all "put in our share", the pot was still $50 (or more!) shy of the bill + tip. It's frustrating even as the non-host, since I know I carefully put in more than what my food + tip had cost.

- kalleboo 11y agoInteresting, my experience is the opposite. Everyone rounds up a little bit and whoever is paying ends up with an excess. This is in Japan though, so the social dynamics are different from the US.
- ThrustVectoring 11y agoIt's definitely the sort of thing that will vary a lot based on the group. I'm also at a place where I can afford to spend $50 or whatever to gauge the collective trustworthiness of a group of people.
- pimlottc 11y agoNote that figuring out individual "shares" is more difficult in the US than many countries, what with tax and tip not being included in the menu prices.
