#WTF #Walmart ? Today at my local Walmart no prices were marked on shelves or items. Instead all products had a #QR code that you had to scan to see a price. Nope. Just nope. Seems like a huge #cybersecurity risk plus it pisses off customers.

Why do people fall for this?
Second time I have seen a nicely printed sign in a shop window with a #QR which when scanned says your free trial is over.
Just make the QR go to your own website FFS.
[helpful info: many tools and websites do proper QR encoding. My free code tools https://qr.revk.uk and web QR encoder https://4.gg at bottom of page - includes a lot of QR abuse as well]
