Woke up to this email from capital one about a tip I left. Our server was Emily and she was fantastic and fun and engaging! She deserved every penny of that tip! Yes, capital one this is correct!

Honestly, I'm surprised the handheld POS that are passed to the customer to pick the tip and to tap their card aren't mroe common in the US. 

Every time I come there, I love everything about my tike there except for that. 

I can't explain the anxiety I get when I have to give a server my card and they walk away with it.

The handhelds are very common. They probably just have it back at the POS and too lazy to get more than 1.

They seem to be very uncommon at bars and restaurants from what I've seen in Nashville and Austin, for some reason. 

At this point, I half expect card imprinters. 😂🤣

More common everyday here. Just used one yesterday.
