You and an old friend catch up at a restaurant. When the bill comes, how do you make sure the poor waiter takes your card? (lemmy.world)

I usually whisper, "I'll flip every table in this joint if you don't take my card, including the one with that child at it", and while it has a 100% success rate, I can't help but feel terrible about it, later. What are some alternatives?

    I feel I am too european to understand this; We pay before eating.

    What do you mean take your card? Why wouldn't they take your card?

    I get up to go to the bathroom, find the waiter, and take care of it then.

    I did this once only to have our friends get furious at the waiteress because they had intended on paying. We were in from out of town and they wanted to treat us. It was awkward... I felt really bad for waitress
