I love QR Code menus, especially when you can order through them.
But I hate when restaurants force them on you. Just give me the fucking choice so that everyone can order in the way they prefer.
This, but unironically
The boomers are right about this one
I prefer the menu on my phone. I can't be the only one
While I think your opinion is vile, detestable, loathsome, abominable, and evil, I don't understand why you're being down voted.
Thank you for sharing your abhorrent, outrageous, and revolting opinion as it does contribute something meaningful to the discussion.
Same. Menus are disgusting.
These Boomer eyes can't see print that small. Give me a piece of paper
I had some friends in town and we went to a place that made us use the qr code for the menu and had to order directly from the app and pay (and tip).
Same, but it was so busy that nobody at the table could load the menu; The restaurant’s tiny little closet server was essentially DDOS’ed. So the waiter had to verbally list the entire menu in the noisy restaurant.
Even worse, it was a restaurant where you order in rounds (Korean BBQ.) So every time the waiter came back to see what we wanted next, they had to list everything off again. By the third round, he just had a handwritten list he was handing to the table.
I love tech. But there are some things that just don’t need to be replaced by tech. And the fact that the restaurant didn’t even have any paper menus as a backup was jarring.
Demonic behavior
Meh. I didn't like it at first because it was unfamiliar, but I really don't see anything wrong with it, especially if you can order and pay directly from your phone instead of waiting for a server to show up.
See, Im going to speak in defence of the QR code in some places. If I go to a pub, staffed by interchangable 20 somethings who are simultaniously taking orders, wiping tables, pouring drinks, clearing tables... yeah I dont think those menus are getting wiped down all that often.
If its a restaraunt, or trying to be upmarket... yeah make menus.
Maybe if you call ahead they'll autoclave a menu and a table for you.
I don't know, man, I always hate political cartoons that feel the need to label everything. Like, is that necessary?
It's not necessary. That is why this cartoon has them.
This artist makes cartoons that are parodies of over-labelled political cartoons. He satirizes by imitating his target's crappy form.
Ate the onion?
Yeah I didn't realize that was the part that was being satirized.

I feel that making a flowchart of this could lead to new labyrinth designs!
I love people’s absolute moral outrage about scanning a QR code. The same folks crying bc they have to ask for a plastic straws or wear a smal piece of cloth on their face in the grocery store.
It’s a genuine security risk.
Menus aren’t killing the environment either.
Yeah, I get wanting to not reprint menus every time something changes, but there are ways to do that which are more convenient and accessible than "scan a QR code to go to a random website and pray you have working internet access and also the site is working and up to date." Y'know, like a damn menu board on the wall. Whiteboard/chalkboard even!
If you're using these links as restaurant menus as opposed to ordering platforms (this is how I use them, and how this post & other commenters seem to be presenting the concept) that's kind of limited to a risk of straight up being phished in a situation where you don't really have any reason to hand over your information.
In a pub/bar setting it's helpful to know what's available at the bar before I'm standing at it, especially if I'm buying a round. That is to say it generally lowers the bar to menu availability, not raise it. Because before the pub/bar would simply have no table menu and you'd figure out what you wanted by asking or looking at the taps
I dislike qr menus mostly cuz their websites suck and I often don't carry a phone.
Edit: Let me just add that as a coder my dream is to one day be hired for a really expensive and complex project and to give them a solution that only uses paper.
Paper menus are just full color e ink large foldable ipads that don't weight a thing and are cheap, and have a super accessible interface.
I wear masks, carry stainless steel straws so I don't have to use paper ones. You want me to eat at your establishment more than once, don't make me use my phone at meal time.
Ah yes, the old "insult everyone involved" gag.
Wow, the onion is on point these days. I don't know how they can produce satire in today's America.
At whom is this aimed at?
The Kelly cartoons are done by a progressive pretending to be a conservative. The Onion often gets hate letters from progressives who think it's genuinely conservative, and more glowing letters from conservatives who think the same.
Taking into account that this is the Onion, it's probably aimed at at everyone like the good ol' days.
People who enjoy mocking political cartoons.
God I hate the way this dude draws joints on people, elbows and shoulders are jutting out way too much and the people look like weird bony aliens wearing human skins that don’t fit right
Those are crucial features of political cartoons
I love how lady liberty is crying in all of these
Don't forget Today's No-good Teens.
Had anyone gotten the code to work?
Closest thing I got was a Google image search near match for an xvideos qr
its not a real qr code,
there is no timing pattern between the 3 big squares.
there has to be a black and white alternating pattern between the inner corners of the three squares, that afaik is used to determine the size of pixels while scanning.

Huh. TIL.
Doesn't appear to be a valid qr code. Couldn't get Binary Eye to read it.
Just put it up on the wall if you're going to use a QR code.
At least as a backup. Sites break, internet goes down, occasionally people don't have their phones, so on. Or maybe I'm just sick of looking at my damn phone.
Right. We go out to eat to get away from the trappings of our mundane lives. Plus it's just chintzy.
Nosh-inal 🥸
I'm gonna start using a nokia brick again if this shit starts getting normalized. You are never interacting with my phone. Take my money, give me your shitty craft burger abd fuck off.
I wish restaurants could allow web app based ordering if I just want to get a refill on drinks, ketchup etc. without bothering a person. If I can order things without servers that’d be great as long as a server is available to answer questions if needed.
We have a rule: Phones stay in pockets/handbags while dining/going out and in flight mode. I also do not install apps on my phone, especially not in a hurry and without checking the app's reviews and taking my time to decide what rights the app should have etc. They can give me a tablet to make my order if they don't want to print menus.
If you need to put text on people's shirts then it's a bad comic
Well, it’s The Onion, so I don’t think making a good comic was their goal.
Unless you are doing it ironically to diss that one comic artist
I thought it was one of theirs at first with all the explanitory labels everwhere but the art was too competent
I’ve heard quieter whooshes at the airport
