swordgeek@lemmy.ca 1 day agoI was in the US (probably for the last time ever) in December and was amazed that they still do this.
Here in Canada, that was done away with…maybe 20 years ago? Trips to the UK, France, Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands have been similar.
Signing a CC receipt is something most people’s parents did. Except in the US.

I wonder if our tip culture has something to do with it.
Gotta be able to add that 20% for the server.

Nope. For some stupid reason, Canada pays servers passably (not great) but has almost exactly the same tip culture of the US.
Here when it’s time to pay, they bring a wireless machine to your table. You punch in the tip you want, and then either tap or insert your card to pay. A receipt printer is built-in, so you can get your paper as well.
