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?

      Where in Europe is this? I’ve never paid before eating at a restaurant anywhere I’ve traveled in Europe. You pay at the end when the bill comes except at places where you order at a counter, same as the US.

      You order everything up front and pay up front? What if you decide you’re having a good time and you want to add on another drink?

      That sounds better honestly. I don’t think I’ve ever in my life decided to order anything else after my plate arrived, except of course at a bar where the amount of drinks I’m ordering is variable, but then bars make you pay for drinks up front…
