Two Questions about the GTG tomorrow

I hate to be the party pooper, or the one who brings this up or whatever, so please don't flame me . . . but . . . how are we going to divide the bill???

I mean, if it comes to $200 are we going to divide it by the number of people in attendance?? Not to be a penny pincher or anything but I've been out on maternity leave for 11 weeks, I can't exactly afford to chip in to pay for someone that orders $30 worth of food if I only order $10 worth of food AND b/c I'm nursing, I can't drink.

So, at the risk of getting flamed for asking the question, how are we going to divide the bill for all these people??

And what are we doing in the event the weather is bad?

There was a post about bad weather and a poll as to whether or not it should be rescheduled.

As for logistics of dividing the bill, it would stand to make sense that for a group off 30 plus people, the group should be separated into smaller groups of tables and each table be responsible for its own bill. Otherwise madness and mayhem could ensue. JMO.

Well, I'm ordering nothing, cuz I'm cheap and poor and a vegan anyway - and don't want to drive after drinking... so hope it makes it easier for everyone! Chat Icon

This is exactly right. And for those of us (me in particular) that drink more than most I'll go to the bar for my drinks so that they do not skew the tab.

We did this at the last large GTG & it worked really well.
