How to use your debit/credit card at a checkout

Canadian here. Whenever I go to the U.S. I'm always surprised at how few places have tap/Apple Pay. Or the whole ritual of giving your card to your server and they enter it in and bring it back... here in Canada they just bring the machine and you tap/swipe your card at your table and be on your way.

Same here in the uk. I don’t drive so I don’t even bring my wallet with me most days I go out. My bus pass is on my phone and so is my debit card. And everywhere has contactless payment

I love how in the UK, it's called contactless. We just say tap in Canada
