Lunch with co-workers

How many people out there really like going to group lunches? I am not talking about a group lunch where it is ‘your’ group of friends at work. I am talking the whole department and a few others.

Granted, you may like a few folks in your department but a majority you may or may not be social with at work. Yesterday, we had a group farewell lunch for a co-worker. I had to set it up if you can believe it. Well, the lame thing about a group lunch is that we usually split the bill evenly. For example, 11 people the bill is $100 bucks, subtract the celebratory guest, so $100 / 10 = $10 bucks a person. Great. Nice and easy.

Well, not so much because at lunch some people order the most expensive thing, some people order beer and some people order the cheapest thing. Thus, if you were the loser getting the $5 sandwich you totally get screwed by the guy that gets the fish special and the beer. You would think the people ordering the more expensive dish you just throw in more money but they don’t. I hate cheap bastards that can’t pay their own share!
