@Uair Brother, with some obnoxious reminders from them.
Thank you! I didnae know that.

Stop.
-everyone@cmconseils this is why we'd rather travel to country pubs still.
The most recent pub/hotel we stayed at in Awabakal (Newcastle New South Wales Australia) still had a counter for ordering food (breakfast lunch and dinner), the pokies were out the back through the beer garden away from the rest of the venue, the sports tv's were in the front bar and the 'restaurant' side was its own seperate area too in the back bar... One of the best pub hotels we've stayed at

@Uair @NickSchwanck @cmconseils We live not in an apathetic society as one might think, but outright antipathetic.
I do find it ironic that people are taught to hate the concept of laziness in any form and to apply it to anyone they see as not working hard enough, yet they're actually the ones who avoid effort — even just the bare minimum — in anything where they can fight to avoid it. (Expending more effort to avoid effort. If that isn't laziness I don't know what is.)
I think the biggest problem of all is people really really do not like to think.
It's been my experience that the vast majority of us simply walk around looking for ever-better choices to do their thinking for them. I can count on one hand how many people I've met who actually do their own thinking. Mostly they just regurgitate calibrated phrases put out by professional persuaders.
If I hear something like "Sleepy Joe" out of you, I write you off as an extension of someone else's mind and, sadly, someone who lopped off a big bit of their own humanity.

Dear restaurant owners:
We ALL hate the QR code menu.
Stop.
-everyone@cmconseils I was willing to do this during the pandemic. Since then, I just leave if the restaurant forces me to order with some app. I have stopped going to several #Portland restaurants entirely who continue the practice.

Dear restaurant owners:

Stop.
-everyone@cmconseils Why does no one use NFC tags? At least then you don’t have to fight the camera.
Still terrible compared to what has worked for… all time until recently.

Dear restaurant owners:
We ALL hate the QR code menu.
Stop.
-everyone@cmconseils I make them get me a menu... saying that scams using QR codes are common, so will not scan them.

Dear restaurant owners:
We ALL hate the QR code menu.
Stop.
-everyone@cmconseils there seem to be lots of people agreeing with you, but I don't dislike it, at least at the places I go.
FWIW I _can_ browse the menu without starting an order, and I have the option of going to the bar and ordering instead of I want to.
But they're not asking me to install Yet Another Goddam App, and I'm paying with the same bank card that I would use at the bar anyway so there's very little difference in terms of privacy. What's not to like?

@cmconseils Stick alternative QR codes over them and maybe they'll stop.
@lydiaconwell @cmconseils
️ A QR code that takes one to an alternative, more honest copy of the menu, with identical aesthetic. -
@otte_homan @lydiaconwell @cmconseils what you must never do is look online for people posting pictures from restaurants, and order fun drinks and snacks for them using the QR codes visible on the menus
@mkoek @otte_homan @lydiaconwell @cmconseils wait a minute since most of them are static just take a picture of one and then wait for someone to sit there and then scan the code, join their menu, and put them into crippling debt. Funny pranks to do to your worst enemy.

-everyone@cmconseils I've never even heard of such an abomination before now. I've also never scanned a QR code, so I guess I'd go hungry if faced with this as my only option. 🤬

-everyone@cmconseils I was at the airport on Friday and tried one of the QR code menus. Ended up giving up since it was a total failure of a website and went somewhere else.

-everyone@cmconseils agreed with that I hate trying to scan QR codes with my new expensive phone for some reason it seems to just take a photo rather than scan it properly
