You pay at the front and they just swipe it on the side of the Clover Station

REALLY?? They would have had an awesome Pay at Table system. And they don't even use the EMV Features of it at all! There was no FD-40 or anything.

Nevertheless we were disappointed with everything including service here was way less than abysmal. Sorry Erin for treating you to such a crappy place with no EMV XD, not that she'd care anyway. But hey I do!

I wonder if they tried using Clover Mobile for payment but decided it wasn't worth the hassle/complaints. It was kinda awkward at the one place I found that actually used it for pay at the table (compared to something like an Ingenico iWL terminal), plus swiping is still faster than EMV.
