Exactly what I said earlier. That's the problem with a group. And
if that is the person handling everyone's share of the bill, it could
kill the server's tip.

I went to lunch with a friend and this guy. He paid, so who am I to
say, he was trying to impress my friend. He left a quarter for the
tip for three people. I hid money under my plate to make up for it.
