QR code menus spark backlash over data collection, accessibility

Users highlight accessibility barriers for elderly and disabled patrons

3 Sep 13 7:28 AM · 10d ago · 9 comments · 1 source · development 3 of 4

Multiple commenters raised concerns that QR-only menus exclude elderly patrons unfamiliar with technology, people with mobility issues like essential tremor, and others who depend on alternative access methods—with some framing it as an ADA violation.

“It's an accessibility anti-pattern. This was a huge problem for my elderly mother. She just doesn't understand technology and at 80 years old she's not going to learn.”
