  When in doubt - as you *should* have been -, don't act like an
obnoxious pompous twat.

  Note Jim's TLD. Unlike you, he doesn't live in the US, but in a
country where - like in most of the 'western' world - they have modern
payment systems. The waiter brings the payment 'terminal' - mostly a
small, phone-like, handheld device - to your table. And that payment
terminal handles cards, phones and (AFAIK) watches. Probably only in
some very posh restaurants it's still somewhat common to take your card
to their payment terminal.

  But indeed what you describe is common in the US, they take your card
to their payment terminal. Mind-boggling for us non-USAsians, but when
we're there, we just go with the flow. :-)
