Canadian checking in.
Biggest oddity to me is that the default for restaurants is one bill, and waiters get annoyed if you ask them to split it by person.
Like why would I want to either:
It's complete insanity to me.
This hugely depends. Most places will happily split it.
Yeah, this one is interesting to me. I go out with friends, and we split the bill every time. They're even happy to split it differently for couples and singles. Never been an issue. Maybe it's a regional thing??
Split meaning equal shares, or split as in each person pays for what they ordered?
Ah, good point. I was referring to each pays for what was ordered. Although, I think equal splits are typically not an issue either. I do live in a pretty touristy area - no clue if that affects it somehow.
