Went into *two* restaurant+bars recently & was told "we have no paper menus due to COVID; use your phone to get the web menu". It's disturbing that a B&M business just assumes everyone has a smartphone & they're willing to marginalize those who do not. One of the bars outsourced to a site that outsourced to #Cloudflare so the online menu discriminated further against Tor users.
@resist1984 When that happened to me and I said, "neither of us have smartphones" they did manage to produce a paper menu...
@meejah The restaurant should want customers to get paper take-out menus & they also shouldn't want the menus back. Like giving out business cards, it could lead to repeat business. In one case I pressed the matter & they were helpless on the food menu, so I shared a phone w/someone (not good during #COVID).
@resist1984 @meejah This! Doesn’t every family have a dedicated “menu drawer” in their kitchen? 😂 Lots of Asian food places have done the “include a paper menu with your order” for forever, so we’d always have a couple copies in the kitchen menu drawer, a few at work, give em to friends and family, keep one in the car glovebox, etc. Free advertising!
