>> I noticed iPads on the tables
They're tablets, from Ziosk. iPad is the Kleenex of this generation.
I rather like those, nothing like paying (and leaving) when I want instead of trying to track down the waiter for 20 minutes

I never understand why waiters don't give me a chance to hand them the card immediately when they drop the check. I don't need to sit with it for 10 minutes, especially after it took 10 minutes to flag you down for it. Years ago I was a waiter, so I don't really sympathize with an argument that they're too busy. The whole system could be revised.
On occasion—if I've been in a hurry, for example—I've gotten my card out once done eating and had it ready to hand to the server when they bring the check.
I'm not talking about restaurants where you expect excellent service. I'm talking about restaurants where you can't take it as a given that they're going to be attentive to something you say when they put the check down.
