I am beyond sick of it. If they make me sign up for a bullshit account, they don't get my business.

A restaurant with a QR code instead of a menu, I walk out of. One that requires a kiosk or app to order, same thing.

I have a zero tolerance for marketing e-mails & text. I block/spam every single one.

I had a $2.13 medical lab bill last week that wanted me to make an account including jumping through hoops to prove my identity etc... to pay them! They got a check in the mail.

    Restaurant menus make sense. It's easier for them to maintain any changes and it's easier for you to get the order right. If it lets you pay, that's also easier and faster than being held up by a waiter who has no interest in getting you to leave the table.

    I've never had to sign up for anything when using such a menu.

    First (and last) time I ever used a QR code on the table. We walked in, sat ourselves at an empty table. No sign of any staff. Ordered ourselves via their QR code. It was self service drinks even. Literally the only thing the server did was carry a couple plates from the kitchen to our table then we never saw them again.

    The order required prepayment and added 15% tip by default.
