This may or may not be an occurrence that only happens with the younger generations, but it's a problem that has plagued our lives for years. With cash being thrown around, that guy only having a twenty dollar bill (yeah, you know the guy), bad math and people paying and leaving, the collected money total never seems to equal the dinner check total, let alone the socially acceptable tip total. Everything always seems to be going so well, a twenty here, a ten here, a couple of ones for the tip. Then comes the final count and....this problem again? This more often than not leads to the dinner table accountant asking everyone to cough up one more dollar, which more often than not leads to someone just paying way too much to cover the difference.

| Obama approves dinner check bailouts. |
The solution you ask? Separate checks. Splitting amongst credit cards instead of doing cash. Good math. Stop hanging out with the guy that only brings twenty dollar bills out to eat the seven dollar meals at Applebees. Multi-billion dollar bailout plan. All viable solutions to fix the dinner check phenomenon. Maybe we have to be responsible adults to fix the problem; I don't see any of them asking for a buck from everyone at the table. For any responsible adults reading this, I tip my hat to you sir or madam.
It's just slightly annoying.
