Fuck them. I absolutely hate the qr code fad and hope it dies soon. I hate trying to read shit on my phone and would rather just be able to flip to a page I want and look directly at the place I want than:

>open camera
>scan code
>open link
>wait for load
>scroll to find something
>click next page
>nope
>click next page
>restaurants shitty reception slows the load time
>wait 30 seconds for next page to load
>nope nothing on this page, want to see first but have to click back twice and wait for load again
>have to scroll to find what i want
>find something that sounds good but want to keep browsing

>nah gonna get what i saw first

It's so fucking tedious. I work in tech too and help maintain my companies mobile app so it's not like I'm illiterate when it comes to smartphones.

I genuinely can’t believe all the bitching in this thread. Half of you faggots probably spend a large portion of your day phoneposting on this website, but the second some restaurant asks you to use your phones you lose your minds. What the fuck?

Also, do you really not know what’s on the fucking menu? I’d wager that you either picked the restaurant because you are craving a specific type of food that they serve or it’s a place you regularly go to. If your IQ is higher than 80, you should have some idea of what you want to eat from the place you literally chose to go to. Most of you will just order chicken tenders and fries anyways.

It’s threads like these that remind me of George Carlin saying something about how stupid the average person is and then you realize half the people you meet are even dumber than that.

Do you not go to a restaurant if you haven't memorized the menu? Even if I want a burger or something ez pz I'm still going to order 'on-menu'.

Because technology is interfering with the experience instead of enhancing it. Sure for antisocial retards who don't know dining etiquette it might be great to just look at the phone they probably have out in the first place and order it from there. But as I said it take you out of the experience. Same as having one of those touch screen ordering menus(whihc were more common pre covid granted) at that point why not just go to MacDonald's to have the same experience?
LIke it or not having your and your group of friends take their phones out and be on them already cheapens the whole setting. And that is if that doesn't cause one of them to say " oh since we already have our phones out lets take a few pictures" and the phone never goes down again.

Not him but have you been inside fast food joints recently? The menu above the cashes is absolutely dogshit. They have the same screen real estate as their old signs but now instead of showing a complete menu they show 4 items at a time switching every 20 seconds. To view the full menu you'd have to stand there like a retard for a couple full fucking minutes.
