    That’s not how it works everywhere in the world. Most places you just pay with your phone or your card.

      My brother in Christ you sound like you’ve never been to a restaurant with waiters. And regardless you also literally just said “Most places you just pay with your phone or your card” after asking how he would pay if he couldn’t use his phone. You literally already know the answer to your own question.

        I’ve been plenty of restaurants just not the same restaurants you’ve been to honestly it’s like you don’t think that cultures change across the world.

          This you? The guy who thought you could only pay for a bill at a restaurant via contactless? Also, the whole “different cultures do things differently” thing cuts both ways. You were assuming you couldn’t pay for a bill with anything other than your phone because that’s (maybe) how it is where you live, and when other people said it was common for their experiences to be able to just hand a credit card over to a waiter, you said “well, it’s different where I live.” Yeah, and it’s different where the people you were replying to live, too. And where they live, they hand a credit card to a waiter. But you never considered that until someone corrected you. So maybe you should consider your own cultural assumptions before calling other people out on theirs.
