I think the way QR codes have been used these last two years has left a lot of people with the impression that they're some kind of magical portal through the internet to some trustworthy source.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoI agree. I made a comment about how ads are being "stickered."
- cozzyd 5y agoMy hobby: replacing QR codes for table menus at restaurants with rickrolls.
- bambax 5y agoThis is a great idea for pranks! Although real people who go to restaurants and don't spend their time on Reddit may not know what a rickroll is. It could be funnier to replace the menu with a slightly fake one and see what happens when people try to order things that don't exist (but could reasonably be thought to exist). Or outrageous items. Let's experiment.
- kerneloftruth 5y agoI love that -- thanks! I have a lot of sympathy for what motivated restaurants to adopt QR code menus, but as a patron I hate 'em. If this prank is done at scale it can help drive the restaurants back to real menus.
- cozzyd 5y agoTo be clear, this was a joke and I don't actually do this, though I'm also not a fan of qr menus (other than it's amusing watching tables of less tech savvy folk attempt to use them).
