QR codes. They just piss me off.

creating them or just using them in general?  They just usually work in my experience, and we use them a shit ton in our work.  It's easier than typing a website in and missing a forwardslash or whatever.

That's also one benefit I count from Covid is QR code menus at restaurants.  Do you want to hold this lamenated, but drug through shit paper menu or just hold your phone that belongs to you?  "Yeah, i got it right here on my phone..."

For work, logistics, no problem. Supply chain and shit like that.

But for advertisement? I posted on another thread and example. Watching a game on my phone. Ad comes on for something called Dave. says scan the QR code for more information. Dumbass, I am watching this on my phone.

I would absolutely, 1000% rather hold that shitty paper menu than have to scroll all the way through an equally shitty and buggy interface to get the full scope of a menu. 

Separately but relatedly, if you're a restaurant that offers carry out but you don't have a paper menu I can keep with the other menus in the junk drawer because "the menu is online" then your food better be really fucking good for me to want to deal with that shit - especially when ordering for more than 2-3 people. 

Finally, I hate how goddamn difficult it is to just peruse a menu online. I don't want to start an order, etc., etc.

Just got back from the grocery store and witnessed infuriating behavior by a bleach-blonde entitled self-absorbed house frau. 

She just sat there while the cashier had to bag all her groceries for her after ringing them up, all because she was a lazy fat fuck that couldn’t lift a finger to bag her own groceries. I was ready to call her out on it but the wife begged me not to.

So much this. Fuck QR code menus. I've walked out of restaurants a few times when I asked them for a print menu and they didn't have one.

Tell me you’re old without telling me you’re old.

 

There are times when I want a QR code. Too many menus have tiny text and/or the restaurant is too dark. On a phone at least I can zoom in, and turn up the brightness.

Yeah I’m old too.

I recently needed the services of a pest/rodent removal company.  I called the local number that connected me to a menu tree. I finally got to the live person on the phone after several number inputs to only find out that they sat at some neutral site that handled appointments and were not local. I quickly explained the situation and told them what I needed done. They proceeded to say that they could help but first they needed to ask me some questions.

Me: sure, no problem.

Company: how did you hear about us?

me: this is the first thing that you are going to ask me? I told you that I have an issue and this is how you begin to fix it?

company: we’ll, we need to gather that information.

me: not from me. Hung up.

i called a second company. Finally got a hold to a real person. Explained the situation. They said that they would need to send someone out to do an evaluation first.

me: Nope. I know what is going on. I would do it myself but I am running out of time  as I will be going on a business trip. Just have your guy bring with him XYZ and we will be good to go. 
 

company: ok

Your phone is probably dirtier than the menu.

@Vic Mackey will be the judge of that.

Yeah, but it's my dirt. I touch it all day, every day.

Those menus, not so much.

Your phone can do the same on hardcopy menus.

Beat me to it. Your phone is almost certainly the dirtiest thing you touch all day.

I almost never eat at McDonalds unless external circumstances force me to, so I'm not up to date on their menu. Today, I wanted something "breakfasty"  and McD's was the only thing nearby. I figure a sausage biscuit or egg mcmuffin would be a safe choice. So I go in and see some kind of breakfast combo that looks decent. Turns our I ordered something called a "McGriddle" by mistake, which on the menu board looks a lot like a biscuit.  But instead of a biscuit, the top and bottom "bun" are some type of pancake saturated in a fake log-cabin syrup flavor. Yeah, it's on me for not ordering right--but here's an idea: don't sell a bunch of "breakfast sandwich" type products that look very similar on the menu.  Stick with what you're known for. I bet 95% of McD's customers just want the regular biscuit or mcmuffin, not this griddle abortion that tastes like chemical death.

Funny, young guy I work with was just describing and extolling the virtues to me of the McGriddle in a random conversation yesterday.

Me: yea, no. I’m not eating that.

Agreed. Sausage McGriddle is fantastic. The only things I ever get at McDs are that for breakfast and senior coffee anytime. The only time I go to McDs is on road trips.
