In Canada, I haven’t seen a credit card taken by the waiter for payment since maybe the late 90s. However, the dozens of times that I’ve gone to a sit-down restaurant in the States, I have not once had a waiter bring the machine to the table. Having the machine brought over is much faster and convenient, and allows the customer to be sure of what is charged, so why hasn’t this caught on?

In this case I believe it’s a “if it ain’t broke” type thing. It could possibly be done better but since it’s not costing anything they don’t change. Maybe to bring it to the table they would need 6-7 terminals instead of 2 in the back and maybe that’s the reason.
