I've avoided the restaurant-QR-code deal so far. They don't have a menu I can read? I walk out.

- dymk 9mo agoDo you still leave if you’ve gone out to eat with someone else?
- paavope 9mo agoI think the easy play in that situation is to ask that someone else to show the menu to you
- fuzzer371 9mo agoIn that case, I could just read it off of their phone
- JoeAltmaier 9mo agoNah; reading it off the phone is the whole thing I'm trying to avoid. Doesn't matter who's phone.
- sublinear 9mo agoThat situation sounds like fun! You let your friend(s) pick something for you. This frees you to do more spontaneous things and keep the social energy flowing. I've personally done this even when there was a printed menu and eating wasn't the point. I think people need to really lighten up sometimes.
- bradlys 9mo agoGood luck doing this with any romantic partner.
- sublinear 9mo agoI'm sorry, but what's wrong with asking my partner to choose something for me? Am I supposed to get upset with what they choose? I'm not saying I would leave. I'm saying I would stay and let someone else pick something for me to eat.

- moooo99 9mo agoI've been fairly successful at avoiding spots like that myself, also by just walking out. But its completely impractical if you're meeting up with (multiple) people.
