Those smug cooks, making a few dollars above minimum wage.

I love QR Code menus, especially when you can order through them.

But I hate when restaurants force them on you. Just give me the fucking choice so that everyone can order in the way they prefer.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but they can't data track you through a paper menu, and a company choosing to lose revenue?? impossible

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (5 children)

most of them only link to a PDF containing the menu anyways, they can't track you there either

This, but unironically

The boomers are right about this one

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I prefer the menu on my phone. I can't be the only one

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While I think your opinion is vile, detestable, loathsome, abominable, and evil, I don't understand why you're being down voted.
Thank you for sharing your abhorrent, outrageous, and revolting opinion as it does contribute something meaningful to the discussion.

Did anyone check what that qr code in the image points to?

Should have been a link to their own website to the page where this picture was uploaded.

That would be so meta.

  1. Scan QR code

  2. Hello would you like to let cookies into your life?

  3. Time to navigate the decline cookies menu

  4. Tap menu button/item

  5. Goto 2

Ben garrison is being called out

I don't know, man, I always hate political cartoons that feel the need to label everything. Like, is that necessary?

[–] [email protected] 144 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's not necessary. That is why this cartoon has them.

This artist makes cartoons that are parodies of over-labelled political cartoons. He satirizes by imitating his target's crappy form.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

In that case, well done.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

also if youre reading this and if you're not familiar with his work - the statue of liberty crying is in practically every cartoon as well.

It’s satire of political cartoons/right wing views.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, the old "insult everyone involved" gag.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, the onion is on point these days. I don't know how they can produce satire in today's America.

Just been in a restaurant in France that thought a tablet would be a good idea for a menu. Fucking dimwits hadn't switched off the screen sleep though, and you had to tap it to wake it every thirty seconds

Plus it was an iPad, which only pensioners use, it was fucking awful

I like the way you managed to use the correct "whom" to sound posh then completely fucked it up with the "at" on the end :)

The Kelly cartoons are done by a progressive pretending to be a conservative. The Onion often gets hate letters from progressives who think it's genuinely conservative, and more glowing letters from conservatives who think the same.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Taking into account that this is the Onion, it's probably aimed at at everyone like the good ol' days.

God I hate the way this dude draws joints on people, elbows and shoulders are jutting out way too much and the people look like weird bony aliens wearing human skins that don’t fit right

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Those are crucial features of political cartoons

[–] NataliePortland 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I love people’s absolute moral outrage about scanning a QR code. The same folks crying bc they have to ask for a plastic straws or wear a smal piece of cloth on their face in the grocery store.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago (13 children)

It’s a genuine security risk.

Menus aren’t killing the environment either.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I get wanting to not reprint menus every time something changes, but there are ways to do that which are more convenient and accessible than "scan a QR code to go to a random website and pray you have working internet access and also the site is working and up to date." Y'know, like a damn menu board on the wall. Whiteboard/chalkboard even!

It is a privacy/security issue, not moral. A QR eatery will probably not accept cash either.

I dislike qr menus mostly cuz their websites suck and I often don't carry a phone.

Edit: Let me just add that as a coder my dream is to one day be hired for a really expensive and complex project and to give them a solution that only uses paper.

Paper menus are just full color e ink large foldable ipads that don't weight a thing and are cheap, and have a super accessible interface.
