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?

As a Brit this was legit one of the weirdest things about America that I wasn’t expecting. Literally everywhere here does chip and pin/contactless payment. Random people taking my card away and doing something with it and being able to see all the numbers left me in constant fear of being defrauded 😂
