Although not a people person, I like having interaction with human waitstaff. Therefore, I just defiantly show them my old flip phone when they try to get me to use a damn QR code menu. (Works every time.)
Here, here! I was in a bar at the Dublin Ireland airport where they tried to force us to order with a QR code. The Irish guy I was sitting with said, just wait here and he went to the bar, and then I joined him. The bartender laughed and said, "I'll get your beers, lads."
If they're going to do that, at least post the QR code on an outside window so if you're just walking by you can see if that's somewhere you want to eat.
Hell, I’m a boomer, yet another thing I’ll have to learn? I’m sick of learning things, my head is so dam full of useless crap already, it throbs! Do younger
people not know how much useless info we stuff in during 70 yrs? There’s no more room people, I just want a burger! (Cue grandtween eye roll).😩
I don't like them either and don't get it. Menus are a piece of advertising. Why would they forgo that opportunity in favor of the phone screen from which we could just as well order from home for take out or delivery? I hope they're a vestige of the pandemic that disappears quickly.
I truly hate the QR menus. Families go to restaurants and have conversations around the menu, showing dishes, making suggestions, deciding what to share.
With QR menus, everyone is scrolling through their phones.
It is a tech solution in search of a problem.
