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 would walk out and loudly tell them why.

I left a restaurant and ate elsewhere because they only had a QR code.

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. |

Sounds like a great way to make restaurants give away so many free meals that they don't want to leave QR codes laying around anymore. |

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.

I would be inclined to say: Why are you using qr codes ... so you can change prices for people based on their race and sex? Be drop dead serious when you ask them. That's a pretty good idea, but will likely end up with a few "extras" in your food. Which is why you leave afterwards and never come back. |

Wait until your phone is compromised but a replaced QR sticker. Or you open your phone to porn thanks to some kid playing a prank.

I hate it as well and if there is any choice I will go somewhere else.
I was in an airport a few days ago waiting for a connection and went to a bar, you had to order vis an iPad and they only accepted electronic payment via some phone app. Me another gentleman standing in-line asked the bartender if they accepted cash or card and she said no so we left. Fuck all that shit. |

I’m with the boomers on this - QR code menus suck
|

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. |

I have no idea what the hell I am doing. My last words will probably be, "Well hell ... that didn't work."

I am not scanning your QR code, ever.
I'm a damn millennial. Give me a paper menu or get fucked. |

I rarely take a cell phone when I go somewhere. I would just look elsewhere I guess. Of course the few places I eat at "locally" haven't really changed the menu in decades and they are still open and busy.

I know someone who pasted a QR code on a wall on downtown DC. No words on the paper.
The QR code linked to a site that simply counted the number of clicks. In one day over a thousand people clicked it. |
