At my age my phone is too small sized for me to be able to view a menu properly.
Now if they want to loan me a tablet to review the menu I'd be fine with that.

MODERATORS
Regardless of age, I think you could probably argue that the small, glowing rectangle in your palm is an inferior reading and dining experience compared to an actual menu.
That's not even to mention the unholy abomination of a tech stack that a system like this would be— Camera, QR decoder, web browser, WiFi/cellular, their web server— That signal might travel hundreds of miles to your ISP, their host, and then back— Probably a couple layers of outsourcing/contracting/helper apps they used to set it up— Though it's apparently normal to take all that for granted these days, it's still sorta ridiculous.

Ok. (hands out)
Waitress: ...What?
Your phone?!
Image Transcription:
X/Twitter post by user john is toast @johnistoasted reading: My dad and I went to a restaurant and the waiter pointed at the QR code on the wall and sad "thats our menu" and left and my dad looked at it really close and said "Is this some kind of joke"
[I am a human, if I’ve made a mistake please let me know. Please consider providing alt-text for ease of use. Thank you. 💜]
I guess I'll have the dinosaur in the middle of the QR code
I fucking hate those! They spend so much money on the decoration and ads, but can't be bothered to print 10 menus? What a BS! If a café or a restaurant is still stuck in covid times and wants to use QR codes, they should provide free Wi-Fi otherwise I'm walking out (as I have done many times) because fuck you and your barcode and your shitty management cause if i'm picking from an app I should be able to order through and pay through the same web app, there is no reason for a waiter or reception and cashier its just half assing technocracy.
I'd tell the waiter to give me their special of the day. No other questions or answers, just the special ... don't know ... don't care what it is ... as long as it doesn't make me sick, puke or have diarrhea ... just give me the special.
Then I'd eat it.
Pay for it.
And never return.

I ate at an airport restaurant recently that just had a QR code that let you order online. I do think the model works well in that one specific instance. On top of being more sanitary it lets the meal move at the pace you want it to, which is pretty important if you need to catch a flight in 45 minutes.
