Yep, though it's possible that those won't come here in large numbers because the US is chip and signature. The thread is mostly to see how people feel about pay at the table as a concept in general; is it something that American FTers are okay with in general or is there a preference for letting the waiter/waitress take cards away? Are there non-American FTers who hate the portable card machines, even?
