Restaurants With Menus and Ordering by QR Code

[stonerblue]

This week I have had the unfortunate experience of going to two restaurants that use the QR code menu/ordering. Whilst I fully understand why, in a tourist location where English is not many peoples first language it is helpful. But what an impersonal way of treating your guests, or should I say punters.
The wait staff now no longer converse with you, you have to download a QR code reader then scan the code and join their membership (awaits a flood or emails about food promotions).
With not having my glasses it was difficult to see exactly what was on the menu and what I ordered. Eventually something arrived at the table, fortunately very close to what we ordered.
What a soulless experience, no one welcomes you, no one asks what they can get for you, no one is available to discuss your food and to request changes to the food on the plate (change of potatoes to salad for example) if it is not on the e-menu you cannot have it.
As for tipping the wait staff? What for? Did you talk to me? Did you ask what you can get for me? You didn't even acknowledge me. Forget the tip!!

Get down to Radcliffe market on the food nights. Eight grub sellers and a bar and they all have qr menus.

A money saving excursive that puts people out of jobs. Just like self serve at a supermarket.
Is the food cheaper because youre doing some of the work yourself? Is it fuck.

Dont join in with this capitalist scam!

Always join an aisle where a checkout person is.
Dont got to restaurants where they have binned off waiters.

Keep people in jobs rather than making the big corps more money.

I always use a human to check out. With all the self check outs, the human is usually free very quickly.

Think thats more an issue with you.

For various reasons i had to purchase a large cucumber and a tub of vaseline last week. So what ;)

I take great delight in sending a cucumber, two tomatoes either side at the end, a tub of Vaseline and some XXXL condoms down the conveyor belt just to watch the checkout girls face, it never gets old.

As she put through my veg, the girl on the check out said to me: “Oh, that’s a long leek”
How do you answer that?

They’ve never said a word mate, most laugh and just give me ‘THAT’ look, the rest just don’t make eye contact, miserable sods.

When I was younger and used to go shopping with my dad we did a similar thing, he always used to follow someone round and put absolute shite in their trolley when they weren't watching and then watch their faces at the checkout.

Absolutely hate it. It means you can only look at one item at a time rather than quickly looking over the whole menu.

Self check outs are full of cunts who get stuck and have to call a human over anyway
