Argument #1 (the seven ways thing) seems like a red herring, since I would guess it&#x27;s vanishingly rare compared to splitting 6 or fewer ways.<p>#2 isn&#x27;t very convincing on it&#x27;s own. Your inconvenience is not the customer&#x27;s fault and does not justify being rude to them. Splitting checks is part of the job just like refilling water is part of the job, even if it takes your time away from more profitable tables.
