Could I have the bill, please?
In the US, it's check, in the UK, it's bill. Mimicking signing with your hand communicates without words.
Can I pay by card?
Keep the change. (You can keep the change)
When paying in cash, expressing giving change as a tip. change = change.
I'll pay all together.
If you ask 'Together or separate?', the answer is 'together'. all together = all combined.
Could you give me a receipt?
receipt has a silent 'p', so it's pronounced 'ree-sit'.
