It's been a long time since I've looked at credit card retailer fees, but if there is a transaction fee plus the percentage fee, that's probably eating up your buddy. That would suck.

I think its mostly a flexibility option and possibly a portion/cost control mechanism (or maybe thats just me haha). "I've already tabbed out, I should just go" kind of thing
I know I've been annoyed before waiting to get someone's attention just to tab out so I understand just closing out while you have them there, especially if you're uncertain about your plans
