What's to "estimate"? You can plainly see by reading the menu your surf & turf cost $32.95 as opposed to the $10 Cobb Salad ordered by the person sitting next to you.

The whole idea is to try to keep from having the wait staff try to
write separate checks for each person. (They hate that).

Actually, servers (IMO) don't hate separate checks. It's easier to keep up with special orders on separate checks and really doesn't take any more effort to write on a separate check. Perhaps the difficulty comes in because young servers these days don't know how to do it. You start off at one point at the table and take orders clockwise, making a note on the check as to which check goes with which chair :)
