Anyone else remember then being the cool new thing instead of a mandatory one?

At Costco, you can't get in line at the optical center. unless you use a phone camera to shoot the QR camera. I hate that: for most of my life, I was phoneless, and now I am obligated to pay for a service and device that I don't care for.

    Really? I haven't personally run into anything at Costco that needed a smartphone, though I admittedly haven't used their optical center.

    Yup. Went there to get some new glasses a couple days back, had to figure out my smartphone's camera feature on the spot. An old lady also had to be taught by someone how to do the QR thing.

    I don't like it. The haves and have nots of the world will be determined by smartphone status.
