My friend invited me to a fancy steakhouse, and I mentioned beforehand that I was on a tight budget. I planned to order something small and simply enjoy the evening together. She ordered a large entrée with multiple sides, while I chose a simple salad. When the bill arrived, she confidently told the waiter, “We’ll split it evenly.” I smiled calmly, knowing I already had a plan.
Before dinner, I had called the restaurant to ask if I could pay for my meal separately, and they agreed. When the waiter returned, he placed two separate checks on the table just as arranged.
