CREDIT CARDS IN FRANCE

A cool thing we’ve discovered in France has to do with the way they handle credit cards.  It is against French law for a waiter to take a credit card out of the site of its owner.  So, when you pay with a card, they bring a hand held scanner over to the table and swipe the card rather than taking it to the back of the restaurant and doing who-knows-what with it like they do in the United States.  Attention all important US Congressmen and Senators reading this blog: make this a law in the US too.
