Dear restaurant owners:We ALL hate the QR code menu.

️ A QR code that takes one to an alternative, more honest copy of the menu, with identical aesthetic.@hellomiakoda @lydiaconwell @cmconseils If I wasn't keen on staying employable and without any records, I'd make big money #quishing...
-
@cmconseils So true, I hate having to scan those QR codes just to see the menu.
@luciano @cmconseils I'd refuse to enter any place that did this!
-
@NickSchwanck @cmconseils The problem with "voting with your dollars" as they call it is that it doesn't work when everyone does the bad things. You can refuse to go to one that does a bad thing, but then you'll just have to go to another that does...
@nazokiyoubinbou @NickSchwanck @cmconseils well, fortunately this #Enshittification hasn't reached #Germany yet.
- And it won't because it's considered *extremely disrespecful* to fiddle on the phone whilst dining out!

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.
@Uair @nazokiyoubinbou propably because thinking is labourois and hard, so many prefer to outsorce their faculties to some new Oracke, like GarbageChatbot5000.

@cmconseils QR code menu only found on an Instagram page.
@gavin57 @cmconseils or as I'd say in #Germany:
A #GDPR violation!
-
@cmconseils Luckily I don't eat out anywhere where this is the case. Do the QR codes give them your phone # or any identifying info?
@entichahoosh @cmconseils #QRcodes do usually lead to websites, so besides the rish of #Quishing anything can be done, including #InfoStealing everyone's details they enter!
-
I'd leave immediately. Every time. How very *dare* they?!
-
I would rather have a sheet of paper printed on an inkjet.
@angiebaby @cmconseils I'd even be content with some chalkboard on the sidewalk or some transparent sheet back-illuminated over the counter.
Instead of #quishing!

@cmconseils I refuse to pay for a place that makes me use my phone and always ask for a hard copy of their menu.
@ElRelle @cmconseils I refuse to even enter such a place to begin with!
-
Thank you! I didnae know that.
@Uair @paulehoffman it depends on the model & producer.
My #deskjet6122 refuses to die.
Besides, a proper menu folder isn't expensive and prevents #quishing attacks!

@Uair @cmconseils As a human without a mobile phone, I am starting to run into this... I walked away from an airport restaurant because they only had the QR thingy.
"I don't have a mobile, can you give me a real menu?"
They look at me like I'm an alien and shrug. "Nope". (I'm sure they had them, they were just being lazy.)
So I went to a different massively-overpriced restaurant!
@asmaloney @Uair @cmconseils If a restaurant can't be assed to put their menu on a shitty screen, chalkboard or elsewhere signposted then they certainly ain't worth the money they ask for.
All this #QRcode bullshit does is allow #pricing #discrimination and #Quishing
https://c.im/@kkarhan/116480051184201482 -
@cmconseils Stick alternative QR codes over them and maybe they'll stop.
-
Dear restaurant owners:
We ALL hate the QR code menu.
Stop.
-everyone@cmconseils the only reason they do so is to make extra money with #DataBrokers and overcharge people with #PricingDiscrimination!
- Plus it puts every patron at rish of #Quishing and subsequent risks like #DataTheft & #malware!
-
Dear restaurant owners:
We ALL hate the QR code menu.
Stop.
-everyone@cmconseils being able to view the menu at the font size or contrast that's most comfortable (or even necessary for reading!) is a big win over physical menus. But physical menus can be nice, too.

Dear restaurant owners:
We ALL hate the QR code menu.
Stop.
-everyone@cmconseils Amen!
-
@cmconseils Nope. I like it. Can order when I’m ready. Don’t have to wait/signal waiter for when I finally get my bill and can leave at my own terms. And don’t get judged for what I order or don’t order. Find the conventional restaurant setting always a bit prisonesque - from the moment you sit down you are at their mercy. Not with the QR codes.

Dear restaurant owners:
We ALL hate the QR code menu.
Stop.

Dear restaurant owners:
We ALL hate the QR code menu.
Stop.
-everyone@cmconseils
I ate in a restaurant about a year ago that had a QR code to scan to see the menu on your phone. Trouble is my phone would not scan their QR code for some reason. They had no printed menus and did not know the web address that the QR code was supposed to send me. Technology fail. -
Dear restaurant owners:

-everyone@cmconseils haha I didnt think about it but yes we does,
