    Qr codes can be malucious. Doesnt take a genius to swap one that compromises your phone while still tunneling to the menu so no one is suspicious.

      if you can get a qr code on a current day phone that can auto install an app or tunnel, there are further issues at hand. the most a qr code might be able to do is redirect you to a website where it might try to prompt you to do something stupid with the phone.

        I likely wont be fooled but i am not the target demographic to visit many bars or restaurants.

        Soms people are easily fooled, shady people will exploit this.

        Industries will also exploit this, if you’re on your phone anyway can easily serve you a form request for private information as well as picking up phone details trough their website already, over time i would not be surprised if the menu gets personalized in price and content to make sure they get the most they can.
