I'm a millennial and have walked out of restaurants because they have those stupid fucking menus. There's no way to know the QR code is just downloading a menu.

QR codes are an attack vector and you shouldn't use them at all.

I don't really see a difference between looking at your phone to decide what you want and looking at a menu.
It's not like they're forcing you to stare at your phone for your whole visit and ignore whoever it is you're having dinner with. You can still look up and talk to them about the menu options or whatever. Then when you're done deciding you put the phone away. Having to use a QR code menu has never interfered with me having dinner conversation at a restaurant. And can anyone give me a single example of them scanning a QR code on a restaurant table that some ne'er-do-well replaced and it redirected you to gay goatse midget porn? If anything, it sounds like a great opportunity to have the restaurant comp you with a free meal for your trauma. Sorry OP, but yeah, you sound kinda boomery. |

I was at a place in LaGuardia airport recently and not only was the menu via QR code, you had to order via their app and you had to register for it. Bzzt, nope, gone.

If I go to a sit-down restaurant, I go there knowing I'm paying for and expecting to be, served. That includes a hard menu and doesn't include me needing a smart phone to order.
Last restaurant I went to that I had to use a QR code to get a menu and order didn't get my business and never will again. I might as well order online take out and go pick it up if I'm going to have to get my own menu and place my own order. Add in an 18% service charge and you're bouncing up against the f-ing ridiculous wall and that isn't a restaurant anymore. It's a workaurant at that point. |

The QR code linked to a site that simply counted the number of clicks. In one day over a thousand people clicked it. |
