Title says it all. Irrationally pisses me off

I’m old. I don’t mind them.

I especially like it if it includes the drink menu.

For some reason, restaurants bring you menus and one drink menu. And the first thing they ask is what you want to drink.
It’s like they’ve never been out to eat as a consumer.

All the stuff going on in the world and a paper menu is what sets some of you off. Nice.

However...

I LOVE being able to pay my check via QR code. Game changer

Then sit there and wait for the waiter and ask for a menu. Meanwhile, I've already ordered and gotten my beer before they are back with your menu.

So you would rather wait for a filthy menu with shite scratched out?

Cool, ask for one.

I’ll keep using the QR code.

Eta: OP has the giant magnifier setting on their phone that means they can only have three words on the screen at a time, don’t you?

I refuse to use them

Hand me an actual menu or I’m walking out

I hate them. The restaurants justify it by saying it's more sanitary. Yeah... who doesn't text/instagram on the toilet? How sanitary is that to pull out your poop reading material at the restaurant.

It's all virtue signaling bs. I avoid those places.

How often do you think a Mexican restaurant washes their plastic menus? Disgust. Give me a QR.

I prefer to disposable paper menus a lot of places have gone with since Covid. Best of both worlds.

agreed

I'd rather have a menu but pulling it up on the phone is not a big deal. Cure Nola does this.

In a perfect world QR menus are awesome but a lot of restaurants fricking suck at updating their online menus

Probably more up-to-date than the website that the QR code sends you to.

Agreed, I’ve been to a few bars that use the same tech and it much better than dealing with a credit card.

I love them. I used to spend $10k a year on menus that people would use as place mats. Use your $1k piece of electronic jewelry so I don't have to spend so much

I’m youngish (36) and haven’t the slightest idea how they work. I see them places but refuse to learn how to scan and/or use them. I also still write checks, listen to records, buy CD’s and refuse to use self checkouts. I don’t very much care that I’m stuck in my ways.

How did you get some of these ways at 36 though?

I'm so old I don't even know that they are.....

If you need more than a flip-phone to deal with them, I'm out.
