I’ve never known a restaurant to have a policy like the one described.
Times are hard for the hospitality industry and having a rule like that is massively counterproductive.
We tend to happily accept whatever custom and method of payment offered because, well, we like to stay in business.
I think I may have worded it badly and people have taken it differently to what I meant.
I’m not saying they had a problem with people paying their share of the bill separately. They weren’t insisting one person pays for it all in one transaction.
But when they’ve been asked at the start if they can do a bill for say the six people at the end, they’ve said they’re not keeping track on what individuals order. It’s one booking, so everything will be put on one bill and you can sort out who pays what. But the person who made the booking is responsible for paying whatever’s left when everyone has finished fannying about.
Is that what you thought I meant?
