hmm, I prefer them. I never liked handing my card to wait staff where they take off somewhere.. I 100% prefer pay at table, and would 100% prefer order at table as well, less chance they get my order wrong

Those tablets range from "large-screen credit card terminal with order entry" to "brightly flashing ad-infested slot machine exploitation box that might let you order food if you figure out how to close the fucking ads. With a cloud-connected webcam, because why not". Actually, now that I've think of it, I'm not sure I've ever seen the "large-screen credit card terminal with order entry" version in real life.

So you trust them to cook your food, but you are worried they will take off with your card? Do you live in a first world country or a failed state?

  Some would argue the US is both.

  never heard of card skimming have you?

    Not really in a first world country, no…

      Well then I guess the US is not the first world by your definition since it is very common. Less so with more Chip systems but it is still an issue even today

> I never liked handing my card to wait staff where they take off somewhere.. Just realized this is another problem averted by Chip+PIN for payments. Since you have to physically touch the keypad, there's reason to take you to the PoS terminal, or the terminal to you, and no reason to take the card from you.

  Chip+Pin is not really used in the US at all. Chip+Sign is what we have here. I dont even know what my PIN would be for my Credit Card, Pin's are only really used for Debit cards but I almost never use my Debit card for anything at all.
