That’s not a menu! That’s a QR code!
So I threw it on the ground
My dads not a menu.
The moral of the story is
You can’t trust the system!
Man!
(Very Lemmy take, there)
I’m with boomers on this. It’s even worse if it redirects you to their FB page
What drives me up the wall is when it just links to a scanned image of the menu they used to have, so instead of a full sized menu, you have to pinch and zoom and swipe around on your phone. What’s the fucking point? I went to one and the menu was FOUR PAGES LONG like that! If I hadn’t been promising my daughter I’d take her, I would have walked out.
Doubly egregious when you have one of those annoying GDPR windows that make opting out a hassle just to view the menu. I’ve left restaurants over this.
Don’t they legally have to have gdpr options?
They do but lots of places make it a major hassle to set preferences. Like having “accept all” but rejecting has to be done one by one.
I’m not a 100% on this, but from what i remember, this is technically also not allowed. Something about refusing has to be just as easy as accepting. What is unfortunately not regulated (i’d assume, since nobody does it) is a refuse all option for legitimate interest, so they can give you an option to opt out of all cookies but leave all the legitimate interest options on and you have to turn them off one by one. Worst part is you might not even see that they’re on if you just say refuse all instead of going to the settings
Technically they don’t even have to give you the option to refuse cookies if they have a legitimate interest to collect them. The idea being that if a company’s business model depends on them collecting a certain data point then you shouldn’t be able to get the service for free.
All of this means, that if a site offers you to refuse cookies they have a legitimate interest on then it’s probably bullshit and they are just using the general confusion to get more data than nessesary.
I am fine with it but I feel they should have alternatives. Some people don 't have a device, connection. Or have issues with using technology for whatever reason, being old, incapacitated, etc.
