So I'm at Molly Malone's the other night and they had the coolest thing: hand-held machines to scan your credit or debit card right there at the table. You can even push a button to automatically calculate your tip -- good for folks like me who aren't so great at math. Now I'm not the kind of person who gets all freaked out about privacy and theft, but I think this is a great idea. Plus it made it a lot easier and faster since we had six people all with separate checks. So props to the restaurant owners who get those handy little things. I like!
Oh, and the food was great. I had the poached salmon -- yummy and cooked just right -- with crisp steamed broccoli and peppery mashed potatoes. Others at the table were very happy with their lamb stew, shepherds pie, etc. And our waiter was awesome.
they run your card as they couldn't add on after the fact. We left quite a few tips in cash (which seemed to be preferred) before we remembered.
