        While I think your opinion is vile, detestable, loathsome, abominable, and evil, I don’t understand why you’re being down voted.
        Thank you for sharing your abhorrent, outrageous, and revolting opinion as it does contribute something meaningful to the discussion.

          This is a great way to disagree with someone, I feel like Abraham Lincoln could have written it

      I had some friends in town and we went to a place that made us use the qr code for the menu and had to order directly from the app and pay (and tip).

        Same, but it was so busy that nobody at the table could load the menu; The restaurant’s tiny little closet server was essentially DDOS’ed. So the waiter had to verbally list the entire menu in the noisy restaurant.

        Even worse, it was a restaurant where you order in rounds (Korean BBQ.) So every time the waiter came back to see what we wanted next, they had to list everything off again. By the third round, he just had a handwritten list he was handing to the table.

        I love tech. But there are some things that just don’t need to be replaced by tech. And the fact that the restaurant didn’t even have any paper menus as a backup was jarring.

      Meh. I didn’t like it at first because it was unfamiliar, but I really don’t see anything wrong with it, especially if you can order and pay directly from your phone instead of waiting for a server to show up.

        Qr codes can be malucious. Doesnt take a genius to swap one that compromises your phone while still tunneling to the menu so no one is suspicious.

          if you can get a qr code on a current day phone that can auto install an app or tunnel, there are further issues at hand. the most a qr code might be able to do is redirect you to a website where it might try to prompt you to do something stupid with the phone.

            I likely wont be fooled but i am not the target demographic to visit many bars or restaurants.

            Soms people are easily fooled, shady people will exploit this.

            Industries will also exploit this, if you’re on your phone anyway can easily serve you a form request for private information as well as picking up phone details trough their website already, over time i would not be surprised if the menu gets personalized in price and content to make sure they get the most they can.
