What do you say when you want to pay the check at a restaurant?
What do you say to the waiter when you have finished your meal in a restaurant and want her/him to sum up the account so that you pay the check?
The words should have been very commonly saying in real life, but I do not know what the actual words are.
In Chinese, we say ' waiter/boss, suan4zhang4 (or mai3dan1, southern localism).

You may have noticed some of us pay the bill, others pay the check. Check is American English, bill is used in the UK and probably most countries outside the American continent.

"I'd like to pay the bill, please." Just another option. :)
