  “Hi, I’d like a menu”

  “Oh, our resteraunt only has QR codes.”

  “Ok, bye bye.”

    “Sorry date/group of friends/family/work function, we can’t eat here. I don’t want to scan a QR code.”

      Can I use your phone to view the menu? The camera in my phone is broken.

        Which of those groups do you routinely lie to?

    Tell me you don’t go out with friends, without telling me you don’t go out with friends

      I think I’ve only ever seen 2 or 3 places in my life that didn’t have physical menus. I didn’t walk out of the ones that didn’t, but I haven’t been back to any of them.

      I work 7 days a week with 4 different jobs. I don’t have time to go out, much less have friends. But I have walked out of places and stopped in a gym signup process because they required a cell phone to use their service.

        Good for you to abandon dark patterns, however, people prioritising socialising might lead to less dark patterns in general.

    my UNI makes you scan QR codes, that’s what sparked this question, I can’t change unis because of a qr code.

      Australia did too. QR codes are probably the least invasive tracking you can imagine. You can open each one in a clean browser, like Firefox focus, if you like. They are just a shortcut for entering urls. If china wants to track its citizens, it’s not with QR codes as they track so much more from the data already on your phone.

      Most places with public transport have moved from cash to card based payment. It’s all traceable already. Sure, some places, you don’t need to register the card and can cycle through some, but many places you need to register to use one, or register for reduced fares.

  Like that one restaurant, with their fancy engraved QR code menus that linked to localhost.
