Usually, there's a minimum charge ('gratuity') for parties of 6 or 8 or more, so they better damn well split the bills for us. I've had it be a problem twice in the past 6 years of dining out, and once was sort of my own doing (we had a party of 24 on a Friday night - I just paid it as a single thing vs having everyone split it up - it was an unusual event). The other time it happened was a party of 5 and the server refused to split up the bill. We all chipped in something, but I don't go back there anymore.

Maybe it's a bigger problem in some areas of the world, but not mine.
