Your dining partner should be able to adjust your share of the bill accordingly.

*jump the gun  일을 너무 서둘러 하거나, 적절한 시점보다 미리 시작해서 결정을 내리는 것,

I always jump the gun.

They want to eat it as much as I do. 

what's the way to approach the bill at the end of this meal? .

Otherwise, you're going to probably be stuck with a larger bill.

Is that annoying for the server?

*mind the server 서빙이나 오더하는 동안 주의를 기울여라

*read the room 상황이나 분위기를 파악하다

I don't like owing anybody anything.

It calculates what everybody owes you or what you owe everybody else.

My dad was directing the blame on the server.

They come to blows at the end of it about who's going to pick up the tab.

It’s always a bit of a tense moment when the server comes with the bill. 

*consecutively 연속하여

It's never the same person consecutively.

They establish, before we dine out, who is going to pay the bill, and then they're going to rotate.

*scrutiny 세밀하고 철저한 검토

*nitpick 사소한 문제를 까다롭게 지적하는 것

Maybe there's a closer scrutiny of the bill at the end of the night, but it doesn't make too much sense to nitpick too hard because your friendship will evolve.

Fortunes will evolve - and hopefully evolve for the better

Do not stiff the server of their tip.

He's obsessed with racking up credit card points.

Splitting the bill is a fine art. Whether you're eating family-style at a Korean barbecue joint or having a three-course meal at a fancy restaurant, there should be "a sense of equality in how the check is divvied up" when the meal ends, says Kiki Aranita, a food editor at New York Magazine and the former co-chef and owner of Poi Dog, a Hawaiian restaurant in Philadelphia.
