In my Southern EU country, pizza delivery drivers carry a mobile (GPRS) card payment reader. I never understood why they didn't catch on in the other EU countries I've lived in.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoIME in Poland, they sometimes do, but you have to ask for it specifically (and sometimes they forget). There's probably one spare terminal for the whole group of drivers.

With these GPRS card readers, you wouldn't know until the driver has arrived, and frequently the readers wouldn't work for one reason or another. Of course, if you wanted to pay by card, you usually didn't have cash either, so then the driver would have to phone their shop and ask what to do, and it was just a general hassle. They've since been acquired by Dominos and offer online PayPal/credit card payment and it's much more convenient.
