> In the US, it'd be considered déclassé in most sit-down restaurants for the customer to run their own card.
Interesting; I rarely carry a card and just pay with my phone. I've never been to the US, but it certainly wasn't an issue when I visited Canada. I should probably remember to take my card if I visit a restaurant in the US.
I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer carrying a discrete wallet, not least since my barbershop is cash-only, but also because to forgo it would promote a lost or broken phone from headache to catastrophe.
That said, I assume even restaurants whose POS equipment is well hidden would be generally able to handle folks who prefer the single point of failure.
