Looking at this question, I can see other words to refer to the bill, which seem to be local in Spain (none of my friends was Spanish). I've never heard of them. Besides these examples, are there further ways of asking for the bill in Spanish? Maybe not also in terms of specific words used for the bill (as the post above), but different ways altogether?

3 In Argentina we sometimes use
(adding por favor is optional). That is literally, "Do you (please) charge me?" or less literally "Will you (please now) take my payment?" or "Will you come here so I can pay you?". It's in the informal register with voseo. Without it it would be ¿Me cobras?. I have the native feeling or intuition that this might sound rude in other places, where formality and indirectness are more valued, and even here in Argentina if the place is other than a pub or a cheap café. I would also like to know if there are places where people ask, e. g. ¿Me cobraría (usted) (por favor)?". answered Sep 3, 2018 at 11:34
