Again, doesn't feel like an excuse in 2023. How did you find the restaurant without GPS? How will you pay without the internet? Cash?
This is a boomer's argument, for preventing a waste of menus being printed, every time prices change.
Someone doesnt know what fake QR codes are, or the huge privacy risk associated with scanning random things out in the world.
Hacks the restaurant's website, import a fake menu link, infect phones over time and slowly sell fullz on the DW
Or you know, maybe that might be too much work for the 10$ in grandma's bank account.
Pretty sure grandma wont have a phone to scan the QR code, so in reality itll be what ever money someone of your intelligence has.
someone of your intelligence has.
Genuine lol
Enjoy scanning random things from your ivory tower :). Maybe one day you'll understand not everyone is as smart and privileged as you.
3rd world countries have better connection to phones and the internet than some of your grandparents apparently
Well considering 3rd world country doesnt mean what you think, I'm absolutely sure it's possible.
To answer your question, grandma got a phone. Next.
@Zuberi@lemmy.world I can going have to ask you to please engage in a more respectful manner.
As a mod of a massive community, you need to consider the harm you are doing to the online community by your random decision making.
There was no question? But I'm glad your grandma has a phone. It must feel very good inside to have such privilege in this day and age! It's really not that hard to understand not everyone can use a QR code. ADA laws exist for a reason. I'd totally understand if you're just a 15 year old who's trying to feel superior, but you're being very ignorant to the less fortunate. Everyone would love to be able to experience all there is to life, and to gatekeep it behind a QR code is rather nonsensical.
Physical maps exist. Other people exist to ask for directions. Cash exists. How do you think people functioned before smartphones were a thing? Jeez dude, it's like you think that just because it's 2023, the ways of doing things before smartphones are suddenly not an option because of them. Again, not everybody has access to cellphones or wants to use them just to read a friggin menu.
At SOME point along the way, this theoretical person could have just printed their own menu, map, and directions.
But plenty of ACTUAL people don't for whatever reason. Furthermore, plenty of people (myself included) find it ridiculous to have to take out my phone to read the menu. Why you act like the world should bend and conform to your personal wishes and experience is beyond me
