The waiter, in every single pub and more up market restaurant I've been in for many years, brings the reader to me. I haven't signed a bill for umpteen years. I don't put my card in any folders nor let it out of my sight - if I even have it with me.

In cafés, etc I sometimes pay at the counter with my smart watch. -- Tetbury, Gloucestershire , UK
