'I'm being accused of disrupting the group vibe': Woman sees mooching couple at friend dinner, preemptively gets herself a separate check

We've all been there—it's a big friend group dinner. It took weeks to plan and some of these friends you hardly ever see, so you really really want to go. But then the anxiety starts to set in when you start about how that splitting of the check is going to go down. Some friends are in the mindset of "just split everything down the middle!" Even though some people ordered $20 cocktails and prime rib and you just got water and a side salad. Others are all about separate checks, but who will be the one to initiate that? It's such an awkward part of group dinners, that some people will decline invites altogether just to avoid this part (I know I do). 

One friend who usually declined the group dinner invites decided to go one time because the usual "moocher" friends weren't supposed to go. However, once she arrived, lo and behold, they were there. So she immediately went to the server and let him know that her check would be completely separate. When it came time to pay, the moocher friends were aghast, however, some were totally on board. That didn't prevent the moocher friends from sending her a text the following day calling her out for "disrupting the group vibe." 

If you need more, here's another mildly infuriating situation.
