One of the things that has confused me the most here In the USA is the way card transactions are handled in restaurants and bars. The transaction happens in the following way:
1. Waiter hands me the bill
2. I hand him my debit card
3. He swipes it and gives me a receipt with a field for tip, total and signature
4. I fill the receipt, sign it and leave
The waiter then has to input the tip on the machine. If he mistypes it I will only find out by checking my bank account statement (if I ever do that).
Never seen this in Europe... In Europe I confirm the amount on the terminal, add tip and then finish by typing my PIN.
