They ordered for the table. If you order me oysters, you’re paying for them.

  So tell the waiter? What's the problem?

    The problem is with the person who ordered oysters for the table and then told the waiter to split the check. That is the problem.

      "Excuse me, waiter, here's $20 for my Caesar salad, put the rest on his card."

        Have you ever eaten a meal at a restaurant? You don’t bring the waiter into a financial dispute at the table.

  Okay, I see where the confusion is coming from, thanks for clarifying. That expression means something different where I'm from, I'm not a native speaker. Sorry for the noise.
