I've heard other people don't like pay at table with a waiter/waitress device because with that person standing over them it makes them feel uncomfortable leaving the tip. I don't feel that personally but I kind of get it. And then the approach of some sit down casual chain restaurants of a tablet/payment device per table feels tacky to a lot of people (plus hardware expense) so I don't see a lot of other restaurants doing it.
