    When they try to make me jump through hoops I just give my money to someone else or throw a substitute burger into the air fryer.

    Me: Show me your menu.

    Them: Not without all this info.

    Me: No. I’ll eat someplace else.

    Them: Shocked Pikachu face.

      Something similar - I was looking to book a spa day for my wife for Mother’s Day. I just skipped over every place that wanted me to sign up to see the availabilities. Oooohhhhh wellll

        everyone go eat your favorite enchilada or you'll make me cry

        Fuck fuck fucking fuck fuckity fuck fuck. I just wrote out some long comment and had to delete it when I saw the news. We like to do our annual holidays (like valentimes) on different days so we can get into our favorite restaurants easy. I just found out my favorite brunch place in San Francisco closed in January. I want to be in the angry dome but I think I’m gonna be in the sad shed instead. I was just thinking about how I lost my favorite enchiladas and never had the chance to take the time to learn to teach myself to cook them, life was too crazy back then. Now they are gone forever… Forever… Forever…

    Near me, only mediocre chains do this. Everyone knows the hole in the walls are where the real foods at (and that, we have plenty of).

    That said, they often do cash only because fuck 3% credit card fees, lol.

    I went to a restaurant that had qr codes on the table to download an app. I asked for a menu and they don’t have any.

    I just fucking left. Fuck that.

      This type of malarkey exploded in popularity in the UK during COVID, mostly due to chains trying to make money from data during tough times.

      Most of the time was just a multi-megabyte PDF to download (with a double digit percentage of it being outdated) and everybody hated it.

      Some still insist on it and wonder why they’re going bankrupt. But if there’s one thing the British hospitality industry does well, it’s… not hospitality. At least not when combined with technology.

    I’m finding this happening in person as well. Why does your restaurant refuse to list prices on the menu, tv menu screen, and take out menus? This is fast food, not fine dining. Why are you hiding this from your customers?? I just want tacos!
