I don't think it is bad as an option, but I resent it as the only method. * Homeless/poor may not have phones * Old people don't have smartphones or know how

I don't think it is bad as an option, but I resent it as the only method.
* Homeless/poor may not have phones
* Old people don't have smartphones or know how to use them
* I don't want to have my phone with me at all times. I actually leave my phone in the car when dining sometimes.
* Something as simple as a listing of options, which is often static for weeks or more at a time, now depend on a WAN connection! It's meatspace dependency hell.
I know "menu costs" are such a thing that it is taught in accounting and business classes. Nevertheless, the idea of getting rid of a hard menu, even as a backup, is absurd, unnecessary, and dare I use a buzzword I hate, "privileged".
- ryantgtg 5y agoWe went to a restaurant last week for the first time in a year, and sat there for 10 minutes waiting for a menu. The person who seated us didn’t tell us about the QR code. I discovered it after idly looking at the piece of paper on the table (which previously I assumed was an ad for drink specials). A few minutes later I witnessed an elderly couple experiencing the same thing. They sat for 10 minutes expectantly waiting for menus to be delivered. Lame experience.
