I feel like that has changed over the past few years. Many restaurants in my area started using them for menus, and I recently saw them used to setup wifi while on vacation.

Maybe it's just were I live?

The only places I see qr codes is on my phone to share the WiFi password and on products to scan for compitions and from time to time on advertising at bus stoos

Very popular in nost of South and Southeast Asia
I just paid my lunch tab by scanning a QR code on a receipt, and then tapping Apple Pay. It was rad.
In my country (BR) this transfer method (Pix) that can be iniatiated with a QR code has really picked up - I'm surprised a simple "scam" - replacing printed QR codes that are glued to resturant tables - hasn't caught on yet.
