It's usually best to do that so they can set up tables & such beforehand and not have to scramble to put stuff together when someone comes by and says "Hi, there are 5 of us here right now, but we're going to be having 15 others join us in a few minutes".

2) At least she warned you about the fruit's freshness? Maybe there was another reason she didn't want you to order the fruit or something, but I have never been to a restaurant where the server said something wasn't good?

3) It's always best to tell the servers ahead of time that checks will be together/split. I've never been a server, but i bet it's a pain the *** to ring up everything one way, and at the very end have someone say, "oh, we're all paying seperately"

4) This is iHop. It's not some 4-star steakhouse. While I do expect servers to at least pretend to be polite, it's not the kind of restaurant that attracts the most awesome people in the restaurant industry.

5) That's all kind of messed up that she was staring you down come check-out time for the tip. Yikes!
