QR Code Menus 
January 11th, 2024
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. The world moves forward, blitzing towards technological advancement. Ads for big-headed AI women are selling me Beyond Meat and QR code menus.
I hate them. I really do. They are so stupid.
I went on a date and went to a brunch spot in the city. Waiters with gauges and wooden walls, with TV screens showing Madonna while playing Mariah Carey. Those types of millennials that the youth love to make fun of these days, and what else? No physical menus. Just a puny built-in QR code in the middle of the wooden table.
SO fine, I begrudgingly take out my phone to scan. My date has no data. They are from Canada. No free roaming in the States. They ask for a hot spot, but I am paranoid about bitcoin data miners and sex pests.
Expensive little meals and kitschy names while Madonna mocks me.
I do feel strongly about this. I just think if you are going to have plastic straws instead of the shitty paper ones, you can laminate a menu that can be reused, but I digress.
I don't go outside often. It is strenuous for me, but when I do and engage in consumption, I wish to have a menu I can gingerly glide my finger along rather than a QR CODE!!!!
NO! MORE!
