    Overgeneralization detected! I live tiny, and spend less than I used to. I'm not in US though. But I think the general principle is the same everywhere: many of those who come to a…

    Guests fiddling with their phones is not QR-dependent from what I experienced. Also, waiters can be helpful, and friendly even when there's no paper menus. In my current city most …
