When will they start learning to bring a card machine with the bill?

IT is meant to give you time to check that they have not charged you for something you never ordered. Or do the go dutch calculation. -
It's to give the permies time to argue over who had an extra diet coke and a side salad.

Considering you went to Pizza hut that shouldn't be an issue.Originally posted by Pondlife View PostIt's to give the permies time to argue over who had an extra diet coke and a side salad.

I always pay cash in restaurants, I don't trust people who earn NMW with my card especially when they wonder off with it.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Helps stops the owner pocketing it.
BTW some restaurants do bring the card machine with the bill but they tend to be at airports and with Polish staff."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I started tipping cash when I discovered a chain that used tips to top wages up to minimum wage and then pocketed the rest. Granted it was mainly an NI scam but it was enough for me to ensure that I always give cash tips to the waiter/ess in person.Originally posted by SueEllen View Postmerely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

No it happened all over the country however in England and Wales Nu Labour changed the law* so the staff have to be paid National Minimum Wage.Originally posted by eek View Post
Unfortuantely they didn't stop restaurant owners pocketing your entire tip. So I never leave it on a card just so the restaurant staff can at least pocket some of it.
I also have massive arguments with people when we are in a group and they state there is a compulsory service charge as I won't tip a penny more. If the charge isn't compulsory I ensure the tip is more than the percentage in cash.

Pay by card, tip in cash. If it says "optional tip" I cross it off and pay what I think the tip should be depending on the quality of service.Comment
