Should have just stayed in Harahan and went to Da RickShaw Lounge if you didn't want to pay the luxury tax Baw.

That place is such a shithole. Walking past there....trash everywhere, hoodrats hanging out outside like it's a cornerstore.

I had one yesterday too. I got an email and a phone call at the same time. They have to be on high alert after the Experion bullshite.

OP, yeah, that's just regular old theft.

In Canada and Europe they bring the card scanner to the table and let you insert your card so that you keep control of it. Looks like a small personal card reader with a printer.

Sounds like that waiter is dave and busted.

I wish waiters here ran your card at the table with the handheld machine like in every other country.

Forgot to cancel before the free trial ended to that "unauthorized" website, and your wife saw the bill.

Just because you and your friend are telling y'alls wife's this story so they won't believe it was y'all that made the big dildo and strap on purchases, doesn't mean you have to lie to us too.

Don't most servers always take your credit card out of your line of sight?

In another 5 years, they probably won't take it at all.

In canada, the server brings a portable cc machine to your table for you to pay your own tab.

It is becoming more common in the PNW too. I imagine it will catch on and in a few more years, servers will carry a portable machine and not physically take your card anymore.

Drago's Restaurant...a few years ago they had a server who got busted stealing customers' CC info. Since then, their servers have handheld point of sale devices that they bring to the table to swipe the cards.

My bad. Go to Dave & Busters and have a great time and make sure you split the charge amongst multiple cards.
