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. The Italian (and many other 
economies) depended on mugs letting them take their cards out of their 
owner's sight - but nearly all of Europe now brings the reader to me. In 
cafés, etc I sometimes pay at the counter with my smart watch.
