Here in Canada, servers never touch your payment cards. They hand you the wireless card terminal and you insert it yourself. Or you pay on your way out at the front counter at a standard terminal. Even at drive-through restaurants, the cashier hands you the entire corded terminal through the window (well, most of the time contactless payments are used, in which case they simply hold it out for you to tap your card until they hear a beeeep). During Covid, most places mounted them on the end of a stick, and that practice has continued even once social distancing requirements were lifted.
