Hard Rock this...

I went to the Hard Rock Cafe for a friend's birthday yesterday. It was fun and all. The decorations are neat to look at, the food is average, and they had some good music playing.
There were 7 of us as well so that made for some fun times.

We were all enjoying ourselves until the bill came... $140.
Honestly? Since when does it cost almost $200 for 7 people to go to dinner? I blame the birthday girl and her $8 specialty drink. I also blame everyone for getting 50,000 drink refills.

I had one drink, got something that was $12 (that's cheap for the Hard Rock), and I was the one that ended up devoting over $20 to the bill. How is that fair? The 3 people paying with debit cards refused to put any more on their card than they ate. If their burger was $13.95 and their soda was $2.99, they wouldn't put any more than $16.94 on their card. The gratuity alone was over $20!
I put in $20 to cover my $15 worth. I was forced to put in an additional $3 too.

People don't know how to split up checks. Holy shit.
