When dining out, it may seem like ‘no big deal’ when you ask your server to split the check 2-3-10 different ways, but what are the actual impacts on the business? Yes, it’s a pain in the a**, but it also comes with added fees for the business owner, added time and work for the server, increased turn-time for the table, and more. On the other hand, sometimes there are customers who won’t patronize your business at all if they can’t split the check. Do the cons outweigh the pros? Are the b*tch fits that some customers throw when you tell them “no” really worth it? Does it make a difference if you’re cash only, as opposed to accepting credit cards?
Leah, George, and Nikos are divided on their responses but can agree on one thing: George has d*mn good dad jokes.
