Explain scantron menus to me like I'm a dumb second grader who got left back

Shocked this got to two pages without anyone calling out OP for the unnecessarily offense subject line.

I get that it's cheaper for the restaurant, but I also prefer paper menus.

Lady, my kindergartener knows how to use a QR code - WTF is wrong with you and your stupid subject line?

Once it pops up, it will have a camera view and an outline of a square on the screen.

Point square around the QR code - the QR code is the square with lines/squiggles/dots. This QR code is a URL address (website address).

It will take you to the website where the menu is listed. On your phone it can be hard to read because your screen is small and you will have to zoom and move around the menu to read the items.

Hope this helps.

If you don't know the answer, it's okay to just skip the thread. There's no Scan app, lol.

As a non-cell-phone owner (yes, some of us are still out there, and, no, I'm not over 50), I hate these things.

I get that regular menus are filthy. I'm perfectly fine with a Xeroxed page instead of a fancy printed menu in a folder, but the restaurant ought to provide _something_ for people to look at when choosing their food.

Just ask them for a paper menu. If they don't give you one, leave.

I also read the subject line as “Scranton menus” and was delightedly expecting to read about some weird regional food.

😆 Scranton actually does have its own weird pizza style

I think it's one of those covid things that is now become de rigeur because it saves money/man power.

My family has a pretty strict no phones at the table when we're all eating together so it is kind of annoying to have a phone out for looking at a menu
