You and an old friend catch up at a restaurant. When the bill comes, how do you make sure the poor waiter takes your card?

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?

  • This reminds me of my dad and grandfather having good natured arguments about who was going to pay. It would last a good 5-10 minutes, with one of them ‘winning’. It was all in good fun, and the wait staff usually had a blast watching.

    In reality, they alternated who would pay, and did this mostly for fun.
