My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

I think I should be allowed to order food from a restaurant without needing to scan a QR code which requires me to have a smart phone and an active, paid plan in order to access their menu.
Yes! My OPT is that people shouldn't have their phones out when you're out for a meal. The whole QR code menu thing forces you to start your outing staring at your phone!
Wait, you mean you're sat down AT the restaurant and you need to get out your phone to view the menus???
Sadly, yes, and just like @PurpleFairy I don't like to get my phone out during meals so it bothers me to start my meals with my girlfriend, friends, or family that way.
But also not everyone has a phone with a paid plan so this is a class and an accessibility issue. And I'm not going to use my phone to scan some random, potentially unsafe QR code. I put in too much work into my digital security to then go and do something like that.
I think the move to delivery apps is also a bad move.
I agree. I never understood why having a stranger deliver your food was considered safer than just picking it up yourself during the beginning of covid. That's another person handling your food.
Not to mention restaurants and drivers get ripped off.
I'm on the fence about this. On one hand I don't get handed a wet plastic menu someone has just wiped off, or maybe has dried sauce on it. Also it is easier for them to add updates to their menu digitally instead of using a sharpie to cross through items and prices that no longer apply. But I also agree having to look at the whole menu on my small phone screen isn't the best experience.
