why the f*** do people say "can I get the check" at a restaurant? a check is something you cash for money, a bill is something you pay. makes no sense when waiters/waitresses say "should I get the check?" i always respond, "you're paying me to eat here? sweet"

water bill
electric bill
cable bill
phone bill
hospital bill
restaurant . . . check?

how does that make any sense?

Because I have to check over it to make sure I'm paying for what I actually ordered.

In restaurant context, check is the correct word.

You need to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Yet when I hand a check over to the bank to be cashed I am essentially handing them a bill requesting that I be paid.
