I also prefer a real menu. I do try to avoid taking my phone out at dinner, and if I get it out to do something like look at a menu, I’m more likely to just check one or two things while I already have it out. Also, my husband doesn’t have a smart phone.
Having said that, if I’m directed to a QR code, I’ll just use that. I’m not asking for an actual menu in that situation. But really, I can’t remember the last time this came up. None of the places I’ve been to in the last couple of years have used QR codes.
At the other end of the meal, and I know this is not very old man yells at clouds of me, but I do like being able to pay on my phone or on the device at the table. When I’m done, I’m done, and I like being able to just check myself out and go.
I want to read it on something more than the 3 inch screen on my phone. Besides, I bring MY phone into the restaurant. I get these days everyone has a smart phone, but what if I didn't? Or didn't have it with me? Then I just don't get to see the menu? It fucking annoys me. It reminds me of the Bill Burr joke. Where he complains about going into the sandwich shop and having to do half the work. "Here's your sandwich the condiments are over there, you can finish putting it together yourself".
I hate QR codes at restaurants, too. If I wanted to look at the menu on my phone and have a half ass restaurant experience, I’d just order online and pick it up. But maybe that’s the point. Maybe servers want us to just do take out orders, give them 10% tips for bagging up the food and not have to wait on half the patrons.
But yeah, if I have to order from a QR code I’m immediately turned off by the restaurant. Bad first impression. So I guess it goes both ways.
I also hate restaurants that sneak in automatic service fees into the bills and don’t explain. Hell, even if they try to explain it. The pandemic is over, it’s not necessary anymore. First off, pay your employees more money and don’t try to sneak it from me. Secondly, I do not trust owners to actually give that money to wait staff. And third, it just makes me end up tipping less.
I PAID FOR THE FOOD. WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE?!???!?!?!?!!!!!
I’m cool with a QR code at a bar that serves food, but I’ll die on this hill that I do not ever want a QR code at a restaurant. With a 5 month old baby, we barely get out as it is. We want a restaurant experience. I look at menus on my phone at home all the time when ordering take out. Fuck that in person. I also want a cocktail list or it’s own menu. I want my water refilled like 4-5 times because I drink a lot of water. I want to be able to split the check if I need to split the check. None of this was asking too much back in the day.
I tip 20-25% every single time even if this service sucks, I just want a legit restaurant experience
What if the table had a tablet on it for you to order like R'Evolution? Electronic menus really aren't that different from printed ones.
Do y’all not browse the menu of the restaurant you’re going to beforehand? I get wanting the restaurant experience but I never considered reading the menu to be a major part of it.
It's pretty normal for me to research and get psyched up for what I might eat later. Of course I want to know about the specials are since they are the specials that day.

I know this isn't what you guys are saying, but this is what went through my head:
"Hey what's good here?" "Ummm didn't you research your order ahead of time? Do you expect me to tell you about what we sell here? Click the QR code, order, and GTFO."
I hate living in the city. I hate that we are forced into walk-away lunches/dinners and then are expected to tip 20% on a meal that's not even filling. I hate not being able to afford a car, and because of my epilepsy I know I'm a danger in area that only drives. I hate being owed a large amount of money, and being told JUST BE PATIENT. (IT'S BEEN 40 FUCKING DAYS) I hate this is a norm and now I have to think about selling all my shit and moving back to NJ, even though my work ethic is fantastic, I have a bad family situation, and losing everything at 37 feels fucking horrible when you tried to create a career and it's somehow YOUR fault you didn't have connections.
It reminds me so much of what I was taught and tried to reject. "You are going to have to work twice as hard to get half of what you want"

roast me, idgaf. I can't pay my fucking rent.
We’re not in the exact same situation, but I’m about 3 months from having to leave NYC after 26 years and move in with my in-laws at 48 years old unless I can somehow find work (for which I have no prospects after a month unemployed), so I feel you. ❤️

You know the subtle truth. They are about profit, and bleeding us dry and getting us to leave for more wealthy people is the plan. They don't want to say it aloud because then there would be protests and riots, but there's no reason my rent is 1200/mos for this one fucking room. I'm angry at so many people, so don't think that's a shot at you.
sorry I am in my IDGAF pocket. I might yell a lot today.
- My fucking roommate to the left, yells and stomps like no one else is around, because he is on his fucking gaming headset. He's woken me up every day this weekend. I want to confront him but he ain't gon change.
edit: He got basically offended when I needed to use the bathroom at 7:40am like it's HIS TIME for the bathroom. - Constantly listens to Hasan Piker and stays in there for 30 minutes. Watches his phone like it's going to give him pure truth. - Never puts his dishes/tupperware away. Expects me to take out all the trash and recycling. - Has zero respect for someone who's actually lived on these blocks for 13 years.

Reserved seats in movie theaters has mostly been a positive but the regal theaters near me are fucking annoying.
We are trying for two tickets.
The second to last row has three empty seats from the left side and then a person already reserved the fourth seat.
Keep in mind these are recliner seats that are separated from the seats next to them so each seat is like its own thing.
Anyway, try to buy the two aisle seats which would leave the third seat empty.
Regal tells me we can't do it and they aren't allowwd to let us buy seats if they leave an empty spot next to us, on the aisle seats or in-between parties.
So wtf. Now because this guy bought a seat but left an empty we are penalized and can't put hase two seats together because there's now an empty one between us? So fucking dumb

Another thing that really bugs me. When people in grocery stores have their cart very clearly obstructing any people walking by. Like dude you are not the only fucking person in this store that may be going into this aisle.

open an incognito window and pretend you’re going to purchase the Odd Seat Out. since it’s now “purchased”, open a new window and then buy the two seats next to each other that you originally wanted. works for me on ticketmaster
Because you are on your bike, it doesn't mean you can blow through stop signs and crosswalks.
Me and my brother in law (native New Orleanians) are hanging out in the French Quarter a couple of years ago. So we're walking down this street and this angry woman comes on a bike down the one-way street the wrong way and yells, "Get out of the street tourists." Needless to say we hurled some words back.
Also about 14 years ago I lived in a part of town downriver where almost all of the +/- north-south and +/- east-west streets are one way. I had to learn quickly that just because I was coming up a one way didn't mean I only had to look the way the traffic was coming when I got to a stop sign. Because bike riders don't give a fuck. I am always respectful to people on bicycles and give them the same right-of-way I would a car - probably more. But you shouldn't be coming the wrong way down the street and get mad if someone almost doesn't see you. :/
Another thing that really bugs me. When people in grocery stores have their cart very clearly obstructing any people walking by. Like dude you are not the only fucking person in this store that may be going into this aisle.
spatial awareness has gone out the window i'm afraid

Spatial Awareness is what makes me do bonnaroo right. Ask Rummy 500

Yup....I just found this workaround after Googling a few minutes about the stupid issue. I think I may have done this in the past but forgot. At least it works.
Going to see Indiana Jones be an old man punching nazis later today. Happy 4th

Yeah, this one kills me. I often have earbuds in and listening to podcasts or music when shopping but still go out of my way to be aware (especially when stepping away from my cart for a second) of my surroundings and that I'm on one side of the aisle. Never want to be in anyone's way and get so annoyed at the people who slowly walk in the middle or stop (in the middle or not far enough on the side) and just stare and have literally no reaction when someone pulls their cart up behind/in front of them and has to stop and wait....clearly not looking at the shelf.
The other day I had some older woman who was with her daughter and mother stop like 3 times in front of me before we even got to the food. When getting a cart outside she was oblivious to me and then when they walked in the front door she grabbed a weekly circular ad and stopped dead in her tracks. At the entrance. So I had to just sit and wait for her. She never noticed me but eventually moved when she was done reading.
People are truly oblivious to their surroundings and it def feels like it's gotten worse. Or people just care less now.
Re spatial awareness I would like to apologize now and forever to A) anyone ever hit by my backpack at a fest while I was dancing and B) anyone who ever tripped over my backpack because I put it on the ground between my feet so I wouldn't hit people with it while dancing.

I never get upset about being bumped into by ppl dancing unless it's continuous and clearly avoidable.

ranking straw materials from best to worst, based off of the Overall Beverage Experience:
1. Glass (elite, perfect, the niceness overrides the annoyance of cleaning, it saves the turtles) 2. Plastic (yes the turtles but no sensory icks) 3. Pasta (have not tried but I’d imagine you’d have to drink your beverage quickly before the straw becomes al dente? but would hold up better than paper straws) 4. Aluminum (becomes too cold, feels like that scene in A Christmas Story) 5. Paper (much like pasta, gotta drink it before it becomes al dente) 6. Cookie (I remember when Starbucks had these and thought it would be perfect but you can’t suck too hard or else you’ll inhale cookie crumbs. breaks easily) 7. Bamboo (fuck this, drinking boba outta one of these was like drinking out of sandpaper, -10/10)

Yeah that’s the thing, people are too understanding and I’m over here trying to incite rage and cause personal injury.
