> I prefer the privacy of the waiter going and coming back
I don't. I creates an opportunity for credit card skimming.

What do I care if they skim my credit card? It’s not my money until I pay my bank. I can report a fraudulent transaction and request a new card right from my bank’s app.

..and then be forced add the new card to every service you have set to auto-pay like Amazon, Steam, Audible, Verizon, etc.

One solution is to have one card for autopay services and one for restaurants.
