I suppose the devices used in restaurants wouldn't survive being
dropped onto a hard surface outdoors.

Not inevitable. I wonder if they work after being flushed down the
toilet or thrown in a barbecue ?

Dude: The article YOU CITED said that the spec included surviving being
dropped on a hard surface from waist height.

Then I'm not sure why you said they wouldn't, or is there something
special about outdoor hard surfaces?

(I didn't read the detail of the article).

I was just curious if you could tell by eyeballing it, having seen
both types of devices. It's not important.
