Sorry but I hate this.

Some people at my work do this with credit cards.

e.g. Everyone at the table puts a CC in a hat and you ask the server to pick one and that person pays.

It's pretty much stopped me from going to lunch with that group.

Why do you not like this?

I have the same reaction,

because I prefer this:

    Q: "How much will lunch cost?"
    A: "$20"

To this:

    Q: "How much will lunch cost?"
    A: "Either $0 or $200"

A nice thing about uneven splits is people can live within their own budget. An idea like this assumes everyone spends a comparable amount and is OK with it.
