These days menus, tickets and even parking use QR codes. How do you feel about scanning a code for everything?

B Natural answer

I’m mostly positive about QR codes because they save time and reduce contact. If a restaurant, bus, or parking system uses them well, I don’t mind scanning at all. What annoys me is when the code is the only option and the connection is bad. Then it feels like the system is putting extra work on the customer. I think the best approach is to keep the code, but also offer a backup like cash, a printed menu, or a human helper. That way technology is helpful, not stressful.
