AND…..the owner knows that there may be an opportunity to sell another drink or two or a dessert if the tab stays open.

BUt of course once you get your bill you need to provide your credit card as well and then wait for return. Hopefully by the time you complete your meal

My golf group of up to 20 eats lunch after the morning round and we always ask for the check when food is delivered. Sometimes they bring it right away and sometimes they don't.

Have you noticed that, as soon as you provide a credit card, they charge your account immediately, before you have added the tip and signed the receipt? Then, later they modify the charge to include the tip. I always use cash in restaurants.

Another reason I like the billing machines at the table. Used it at Chili’s yesterday.

Maybe Olive Garden is your answer. They have small credit card payment machines at every table. Pay and leave when you're ready. Nice feature. I think Texas Roadhouse also has them.

I agree. I think the banks (Visa, etc) should require merchants to allow customers to complete their credit card transaction without the card being taken into the back room. It's too easy for someone to copy or photograph the card.

I use my Apple Card at restaurants, all that's on the card is my name, no numbers are on the card.

- They presented you with a number (the bill) and you handed them your card - They charged your card for the amount on the bill - They presented you a receipt showing the time, date, amount charged, and card used - YOU (the customer, not RG123 who pays in cash) chose to change the number by adding a tip - They took the signed receipt, with the changes you made and signed for - Later, when they weren't busy serving other customers, they went back to the computer to adjust the total per your instructions. The only time this doesn't happen is with the newer systems where they hand the computer to you to finish the process. This works but is slower for the server who has to wait for you to figure out how to use the system, figure out what tip to add, and figure out which direction to insert your card all while they are standing at your table and not bringing food to one of their other customers. I've seen fairly intelligent people struggle to figure out how much a 20% tip would be and was glad my food wasn't held up for the time it took them to do the calculation.
