Another more real-time solution to this problem, is wireless Internet-connected devices using Paypal* to instantly settle these short-term debts of convenience. Friends of mine and I have been doing this for years. One of us would want to pick up the check, instead of having the waiter/waitress split it, and we'd then instantly reimburse whom ever paid for it via Paypal. You can now pay via SMS, so anyone with a cell phone should be able to do this presently.
