If this makes sense to you, we can’t be friends.

"i will protect you from the squirrels if you will protect me from the rain."

Those squirrels can be vicious, I think it’s a good arrangement.

Apparently at some point during the last year, restaurants decided not to have physical menus anymore?

It's all QR codes now. How do you order if your battery is out of juice or you've used up your data?

If you ask, they might tell you that Phil will meet you in the alley with a paper menu.

I'm not crazy about the trend. Among (many other) issues - my older kids can read a menu, but they don't have phones. So they've got to wait until I'm done to see a menu? Why?

I am far from a germaphobe but touching menus has always bothered me. Especially the ones in Mexican food restaurants that have salsa splatters on them.

It is ridiculous. Most places we have been will either provide a throw away menu or laminated one they can wipe off, but only if you ask.

I assume that's where this all comes from - trying to reduce contact as everyone figured out safety protocols and all. And I'm all for that (there is a reason I'm only noticing this trend lately). And Lord knows my menu (and for sure my kids' menus) would be the ones with the salsa and who knows what else dripping off.

It's worked out ok for us when we've run into it, but it did throw me a little the first time (and got a big eye roll the second time).

I don't always like change.

I think the QR menus is one of the few good things that came out of the pandemic -

I find it extremely hypocritical --and dumb-- for a restaurant or business to force across the board mask wearing of its' employees, but yet not have "contactless" (Applepay, etc..) payment capability at the check out counter. That 's just stupid.

So let me get this straight: Your business so concerned about my health that you force your employees to mask up like they are about to rob a bank, but yet, you don't have contactless payment at checkout? Oh, that's right........to sponsor contactless payments, your business would actually have to invest a couple of bucks setting it up. I guess it's just easier to LOOK like you are well intended by telling your employees to mask up, instead of actually modernizing and investing in something that really helps. :laugh:

I'm hoping the mask up thing is to hide the piercings in the nose and lip areas.

Who determined that the people from (or other things related to) the Philippines would be written as Filipino, not Philipino? And why is the national language of the Philippines called Pilipino, not Philipino?
