I think they mean digitally signing on the pad, which it does every time a card is run as credit.

Which means I won't be able to draw my little house anymore :(

I was in the states a couple years ago and they were using cards like in the nineties. When paying at a restaurant they take it, then come back with the bill, you write the tip and sign it, and then is charged... my European (visa!) cards didn't like that shit one bit and would get rejected half the times.

Over here, for the Americans, the server brings you the bill, if they don't already bring the terminal you tell them you're going to pay with a card. They enter the price, you put your phone or card close to it, they ask 'd'ya want the ticket?' 'No, thanks' 'ok thank you! Have a nice day!'.

If you want to tip, you leave a one euro coin at the table.

Generally people don't.

I used to do the 'keep the change' thing but I don't pay much in cash anymore. I do tip (in cash of course, always in cash) deliveries in bad weather tho.
