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?

I have been told it is because there are so many banks, here in Canada we have I think the five major ones and credit unions. We’ve had Interac forever and it’s a lot easier to get a small number of banks to use the same system then the US which literally has thousands of banks.
Interac is what we use instead of Venmo or other such apps.
