This is something that should be communicated at the beginning of the meal, not at the end. In today’s dining environment, there’s no reason a restaurant can't split a bill unless they have outdated equipment or are simply being lazy. All they needed to do was hand us the bill with a pen and let us divide it ourselves. I can't help but wonder if this was an attempt to maximize the tip.

I was overcharged on a plate of nachos.The waitress asked if I wanted the door cream on Guacamole on the side, which I did. However, she charged me $6 for the side of Guacamole. Why wouldn't she state that when she took the order?Anyway, $25 for nachos and a soft drink is outrageous if you ask me. BTW, the nachos were just ok.
