Haven't eaten out much, have you. 

Quite a lot, in my case.

The vast majority of restaurants I
visit bring you a padded wallet with the tab sheet inside.  You put your
card in the wallet.  The waiter comes back from there terminal with the
actual bill inside the wallet (2 copies: 1 for restaurant, 1 for your
copy).  The bill has already been registered at their terminal, but you
still need to add a tip, and sign the bill.

The waiter, in every single pub and more up market restaurant I've been in for many years, brings the reader to me. I haven't signed a bill for umpteen years. I don't put my card in any folders nor let it out of my sight - if I even have it with me. The Italian (and many other economies) depended on mugs letting them take their cards out of their owner's sight - but nearly all of Europe now brings the reader to me. In cafés, etc I sometimes pay at the counter with my smart watch.
