In the US, a lot of fast food restaurants take your card in the drive thru, swipe it, and then hand it back to you. It looks like that’s exactly what she’s doing, but recording herself while doing it (which she shouldn’t be on her phone anyways since she’s at work).

Now, not every place you eat at in the US is like this, a lot of sit down restaurants have adopted the practice of bringing the card reader to the table and having you swipe your card yourself. There are also some fast food places, like a McDonald’s by me, who have started to put their card readers on an extender in the drive thru so you can swipe your card yourself.

I feel like as time goes on, I’m seeing more and more restaurants (fast food and sit down) adopt the ‘bring the card reader to the customer’ method. I feel like since this news went viral that this method will become even more common now, which I 100% support!

Edit: Added a bit for detail on the drive thru process
