Do you get a freshly-printed paper menu every time? From the hygiene standpoint, remote-ordering from your phone is the best, screens are worse (but at least you can wipe them before use) and paper menus are the worst, since it may be harder to disinfect them.

The people before you have also touched the seat and table, the door handle, breathed the air your breathing, etc.

Which is why restaurant menus are often laminated.

  No, they are laminated to protect from spills that damage the menus and require a replacement. The places with laminated menus are not concerned about your health when making the lamination decisions. Otherwise, do you assume by their being laminated that the staff dutifully washes/disinfects them after being collected from each table every time? I can assure you they are not. They are only wiped off when they are spilled upon, and not even that well.

It was beyond the phone screen based matters you see (which is a great dirt magnet beyond toilet seats actually, like keyboards, coming from the need of constant touch in all and every life situations). I believe you hold paper menu without the need of smearing the matter on your skin all over it you know (or just leave alone on the table if it is one page), unlike touch screens where it is a must ... Also the fast food places stear people towards glass surfaces smearing the cover of their skin all over normally had no menus, just look up and say what you want. Now, you must touch all over like the handle of the public toilet, only more! Different scenario.
