I'm sure you've all gone out to dinner with friends and have been in the situation of splitting the bill. I usually charge it and the other party has given me the cash, thus giving me a no-fee cash advance on my credit card. However, it was just brought to my attention that the waitress can split the bill using your credit cards.

All parties on the tab simply hand in their credit card and the waitress divides the total by the number of credit cards and charges each by that that amount. I never knew about this.

Am I the last to know about the payment option for dining out?
