<i>my pad is a total mess and I&#x27;m trying to decipher what happened so everyone is charged correctly.</i><p>Do you have to do the splitting? Just give the table the total check, give people a few minutes work things out, and then just go around the table and ask each person what they had&#x2F;how much they want to pay.  That seems to be the standard procedure at most places I&#x27;ve been to.
