But the taxes don't change when you're splitting up a check and have no bearing on the extra work the wait staff has to do.

Like i said, taxes change depending on your city/county/state/year. You wont know them all in every place you go. If you're visiting an old friend in another state and go out to eat with them at a restaurant, how are you going to know how much the taxes will be on the bill?

That's irrelevant to the conversation. The conversation was about how splitting a large ticket is a pain in the ass for the employees.

Knowing the taxes doesn't factor in at any point.

Are you just ignoring a reasonable cause for that? Lol

People split the bill because its too much math to figure out how much you owe someone if they pay the entire bill.

Restaurant ain't moving, why you focusing on changing taxes?

If you come visit me in Denver Colorado, and we go out to eat with 80 friends, lets look at something. Imagine the entire bill is $1058.60 for all of us. You ordered a $10.99 plate of food, an appetizer at $3.35 and 4x beers @3.75.

How much are you sending me through Venmo?
