Euros would make fun of all of us for using checks at all.

Seeing some places able to scan right at the table. Standard in Europe.
Also the QR code on the check is nice. Some of the restaurant apps themselves can handle payment as well.
I get annoyed by cashless places.

Thatâs exactly what Iâve been doing for years.
Lol @ an advanced banking system still using cheques 
At least we modernized our spelling of the word.

I havenât taken a check to the bank or an atm to cash in 15 years.
Youâd love my favorite bagel restaurant/deli near me - they are cash only. They donât have a website, either.

As long as there are Yelp reviews with pics of the menu with current prices, I can handle it.
To be fair cheques are super rare here too. Iâve maybe used one once in the past 3 years.

I use checks exclusively to pay plumbers/contractors/etc. Maybe they take Zelle now. They donât ever mention it, or advertise it.
By modernized you mean butchered the Queenâs English. 
I went thru a crowded drive thru the other week. So busy that they had people outside taking orders. After I ordered with the person I was informed they canât take cash. Well ok, hereâs my cc, but what if someone didnât have it on them? They couldnât back up (line of cars behind) and couldnât pull forward (line of cars in front). I guess theyâd have made them wait to get thru, pass the window where you pick up food, and expected them to then park and go wait in line again inside?! Fuck that. Iâd have been pissed. And no. There was no sign at the beginning of the drive thru
Pay with your cellphone or watch?

My local Chick-Fil-A is generally swamped like that, basically unless itâs dead they always have people going down the line taking orders by default. If you need to pay cash then theyâll flag it as such and you can pay when you actually get your food at the window.

Itâs annoying chick fil a apparently expects all their customers to have the menu memorized? They take the order before you get to it!
the little chic-fil-a readers cant do multiple payment methods. my mother always sends me 10 dollar giftcards for holidays and i end up having to pay at the reader person and at the window for the extra.
we need better little card reader technology in this country⌠lol. thanks joebidenâŚ
Pro Chick-fil-A move is to order on the app and go through the separate mobile line. Iâm almost always the only one in it. Still merges with the regular line at the location closest to me, but itâs also still much faster.
One nearby location was torn down and rebuilt recently. On its second day reopening, I was in the area, so decided to check it out. Placed a mobile order before I headed over. Skipped a dozen cars. Nobody was using the express lane.
