IBM Patents A Way To Split Restaurant Bills! The End Is Near!
IBM, being the geniuses that they are, have finally decided how to split a restaurant bill amongst several people. It took them how many years in business to figure this out????? They are so proud of this fact, that they applied and received a US Patent for it!
Patrons at a restaurant or bar can pay at their table using credit cards, without involving the restaurant or bar cashier and/or wait staff. Patrons are assisted using this system in dividing the bill by displaying the amount due (including tax) and allowing each patron to enter the amount they wish to pay. When the initial bill is presented, a balance due will be displayed and the indication will be provided that the bill has yet to be paid in full. As each transaction is entered, a running total will be displayed indicating the remaining balance due. When the running total reaches zero, the bill is paid in full, and an indication will be provided, such as by illuminating a green indicator light or by displaying a balance due of $0.00.
