I don't know why but the QR menus just piss me off in a service restaurant. I won't use em (been bailed out by a date more than once).
For a counter place where they are just slinging me the food? Ok I guess. But if we're out paying for a dinner that'll hopefully lead to nookie, phones should be the last thing on the table.
It's because there is no need to involve your personal pocket computer in their food transaction, but everybody wants to get a piece of your data with their fucking apps and customer "rewards" programs. Of course just pulling up a URL may not give them much, but it's like they are working towards getting the tip of their data-raping dick in your pants.
And also, it's an extra step that's a bit of a hassle. I don't want to have to use my phone's browser and internet connection to read little words on a phone screen and scroll around and zoom in etc.
I went to a restaurant once that wanted me to install their app to see the menu. I just laughed at them, left, and never went back. The sad part about that is that the kids working there don't understand why that would bother anyone and view me as a crotchety old man who yells at clouds. .
The forced apps these days are just absurd. Every fucking store has their own app and wants you to shop with it. They don't put any effort into making their websites functional and just force you into the app as hard as they can. I don't want your fucking app.
One semi-nice restaurant I went to wanted me to give them my cell number so I could be notified when our table was ready, and I declined. The host-greeter seemed to have a brain malfunction about that temporarily but he eventually figured out that he could just call my name when it was ready and my ears could receive his message. Of course I looked like a weirdo causing "problems" to the rest of the crowd who were complacent enough to hand out their digits to the restaurant computer.
Yeah it's weird how complacent about data everyone is. I was buying a book a couple of weeks ago and they asked for my email address. I said "no thanks" and the cashier started typing "nothanks" and then blinked and was like "wa... what?". I told them I'm not interested in sharing my email address to buy a book, and their brain melted. They were like "but you have to!" to which I replied "no, I really don't". They had to call a manager over because they didn't even know how to complete a transaction without an email address.
The last place I went with a QR menu linked to a fucking PDF. It was absolutely abysmal trying to look through a phone PDF reader at a menu. Unsurprisingly, the restaurant had some of the worst service I have ever encountered in decades of eating at restaurants.
