I went to a restaurant, ordered from a physical menu, and a had a nice meal.
Then the server stood next to me and held his order taking gadget in his hand.
Apparently I was supposed to hand him my credit card at that point, and then take his gadget so I could type in a tip.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoYes, that’s how the rest of the world does credit card payments. The US is the only country where it’s considered normal for the waiter to walk away with your credit card.
- Tyr42 3y agoNormally here they hand you the device and you put in tip, then insert the card yourself, hit okay, enter your pin, and get the receipt, and then hand it back. I thought it was super sketch when a waiter wanted to walk off with my card in the US. Besides that，how am I supposed to know they charged the percent tip I wrote on the receipt vs another number except by looking at my bill days later? I'm much happier being in control of the payment.
