I usually whisper, “I’ll flip every table in this joint if you don’t take my card, including the one with that child at it”, and while it has a 100% success rate, I can’t help but feel terrible about it, later. What are some alternatives?

    You should feel terrible. They’re just trying to do their job while you’re making it awkward at best. This was always one of the most annoying things to deal with.

    -Just put your card on the menu when you hand it to the waiter after ordering.

    -when you use the washroom, find the waiter and give them your card.

    -Talk to your friend before the check comes. Offer to pay, if no then go 50/50 or separate checks. They probably feel as awkward as you would if they paid.
