true... however, we did request the check to be split beforehand. for whatever reason, we were presented a combined check "to look over" while she split it up. regardless of the headache, i still don't see how the process takes 30 minutes. besides us, the place wasn't very busy that night. there were maybe 5-6 other tables that were occupied.

obviously, from the restaruant's point of view it's an added headache. from the patron's point of view, nobody wants to pay for the whole table... and besides, who uses cash these days?
