What seemed weird when I visited your country
Masterpiece:
My credit card features myself playing the guitar.

Please tell me it's a picture of your sugary sweet ass.

That would cause a lot of screaming when I paid for things.

One of two reasons I generally pay in cash at restaurants. The other is that very often diners in a group divvy up the bill, and that is much easier with cash. Unless you're that guy who only has $50 notes in their wallet, and expects everyone else to make change for them. Don't be that guy.
The biggest problem with the chipped cards seems to be the not-very-reliable electrical contact required between the card and the reader. Between worn or dirty cards, and worn or dirty terminals, the system rarely seems to work first time.
Method of Madness:
Over here a lot of restaurants are willing to give everyone separate checks. Then again, over here we tip 20% (especially if they split the checks on a larger party) so I guess it evens out.

What do you mean by separate checks?
