That’s an entirely different situation though, in security and risk.
It’s an expected communication confirmed through a secondary channel (The server most likely verbally informed you of the QR code to access the menu). You can confirm that it is from the proper source (unless you distrust the server to have not modified it).
Beyond that, I’ve never been at a restaurant with menu by QR that did not also have their menu independently verifiable/accessible through their site, meaning you can get the information yourself independently.
All modern phone QR code readers clearly display the code’s content, so you can review before following the link. (Not unique to your restaurant situation, but still should be said)
On top of all that, this identified the emails as spam. Unless you don’t want the menu, this wasn’t.
Data usage to load a link to a PDF with a max of four pages is absolutely negligible.
So to be clear: Don’t be an ass to serving staff. They don’t set their workplace’s policies. If it bothers you that much, stay the fuck home.
Never was an ass to anyone. I don’t trust stickers on a table with random links.
I didn’t eat there nor will I go back.
Also costs being negligible is still not the customers problem. Paper menus cost next to nothing either. Provide those…or buy tablets with the menu preloaded if you want to be able to change menu prices on the fly.
As for online menus, I’ve never had a worse experience then in the last few years with menus being online. Shady companies running the billing, pointless charges, varying prices from site to site vs in restaurant pricing. The whole online pricing this is just scammy in itself now. I have yet to see any consistency. I’ve basically checked out from companies because it’s all the same garbage.
Chip trucks are the only thing left that’s semi honest
