There was a curry place that opened up next to my office that went one step further. The QR code redirected to an app you had to install to place your order. After a month of no customers they almost went out of business, but finally the owner gave up and went to a printed menu. Now they're doing all right, but I was talking with the owner and he was grumbling about the massive amount of money he wasted on it.
Imagine thinking people will want to download your shady app just to eat some shitty food
That bullshit and menu items you can only get through an app.
Went to Taco hell with a bunch of friends. We went inside to get our order because I'm not an asshole and didn't want to hold up the drive thru with our large order. We asked for something my friend wanted and they said it could only be ordered in app.
We all said fuck that and left. The Managers face was priceless.
good! that just sounds fucking ridiculous. there's literally 0 legitimate reason to restrict orders to an app only
Money wasted on prints?? What about the money wasted on the app no-one used???
ah nah, he meant the money wasted on making the app that no one wanted to use
oh yea. that makes more sense
I think that's what he means
I'm trying to picture the slick-talkin' salesman (tech consultant or whatever) convincing people about this ~~enshittification~~ "Way Of The Future™️".
