If this occurred in the USA, I'm surprised the story doesn't end with the waiter asking this guy to take his Apple Watch off so the waiter can take it to the back where the payment terminal is located. Portable terminals that are brought to the table (so the customer can enter their PIN) still seem to be a rare occurrence in the US.

It's a miracle that you don't pay with checks at restaurants.

For some reason I have started seeing them a lot more lately and I am not in a tech hub. Perhaps having to upgrade to chip readers, the restaurants were able to get the portable readers as well?

Or too many servers were skimming cards on their way back to the PoS terminal
