If everyone chips in a $20 or two, but there's a wide spread in min and max spend per person, getting the correct increments of change to distribute to each diner in the party becomes an efficiency nightmare. Nevermind the fact that it's just plain stupid when reasonable alternatives (Venmo, Square Cash, etc.) exist.
>splitting the bill is standard for most younger people
There are many food and drink establishments with a "no splitting of bills, ever" policy. This is more prevalent in some cities than others.
