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?

Something not mentioned: if you’re at a *nice* restaurant, it will feel kind of cheesy. I think if the culture changes that perception might as well, but I would anticipate fine dining to be the last hold out.
