Canada has the same tipping culture as the US and we've had portable PoS systems in restaurants for like 10-15 years now (and I feel like I'm being conservative there).
The machine just asks for a tip and lets you put a % or $ amount in, usually with a suggested amount. I'm not sure what difference you perceive here between writing it on a piece of paper and entering it on a terminal.
- oneeyedpigeon 4y agoThe most significant difference is the waiter finding out how much you've tipped while you're still in your seat vs. once you've left the restaurant.
- temporallobe 4y agoThat was my point - the etiquette is lost when the server is in your presence.
- stormbrew 4y agoThis just seems really paranoid to me? They can't see what you're entering and sure they can scan the receipt for what you put in after if they want but I've almost never seen them do more than shove the receipt in their pocket and quickly move on. If it's not busy half the time they just leave the machine and come back to get it after taking someone else's order or something.
