> All restaurants have an "analog plan B", it's called walking in and asking for a menu

At least every second month I walk out of a new restaurant I’ve discovered because they don’t even care to have it.

Employees treat you like it’s your fault that you can’t see the prices behind a Meta auth wall. They won’t even offer to read it out to you or show in a device of their own.

Nowadays, if I see a triangle-shaped cardboard with a QR code on top of each table, I’m 95% sure I will walk out of there hungry. And angry.

I've never been to a restaurant without backup menus.

Even if they have QR codes, they have some paper menus or tablets.

And it's not even for people without devices or logins -- it's because phone batteries run out and they run out all the time. Restaurants don't generally make a lot of profit, and they need every customer they can get.

Do you bother to ask? Or do you just assume?
