I totally agree with the premise of Anne's article. Using a QR code for a menu or to place an order is so sterile and just ruins part of the reason for going to a restaurant in the first place, which is some sort of social interaction. Using a QR code to pay the bill is even more obnoxious as now a third party is being interjected into the payment/data tracking wheel of user surveillance. Technology is a great thing, but it can certainly be used in ways that are just plain degrading to a considerate life as a human being.
