I usually whisper, "I'll flip every table in this joint if you don't take my card, including the one with that child at it", and while it has a 100% success rate, I can't help but feel terrible about it, later. What are some alternatives?

I've lived in multiple European countries, and visited and dined in many more. Never once paid before a meal. Where in Europe are you from?

Here in Aotearoa it depends where you are eating.

Cafe where you order at the counter = pay first.

Restaurant where someone comes to your table to take your order = pay later.
