RE https://mastodon.social/@cmconseils/116478717366001922 I don&#39;t get it. QR code ordering is a great workaround in a number of situations from dining alone without losing your table to avoiding unwanted indoor contact. Why would you think *everybody* hates them?

The thread shows the majority don't like impersonalised automation replacing wait staff. I have a different reason. I haven't owned a cellphone for ten years, so I'd be excluded from ordering. Besides, the thought of every person in a restaurant peering into their cellphone is off-putting. Enjoy the meal with conversation and without the distraction machines. It makes food taste better. QR codes are fine for fast-food joints, but for fine dining? Never. @jnicholson@mastodon.nz

@jnicholson@mastodon.nz I don’t understand the hate, nor the deranged replies suggesting hacking the codes to redirect elsewhere. They’re great in many situations such as bars where it becoming more common to have to visit the bar to order and pay. My fav bar & restaurant uses them as it’s huge (200+ covers) and it’s bloody marvellous.
