QR codes need to go away. Not only are they annoying, but I suspect they're bad for a restaurant's business. The menu's function isn't just to present the various dishes available to order, but to entice a guest. Menus are marketing tools. Peering at menus on our phones turns into a hunt for an item. When we look at a menu, we are able to examine everything on offer. I'd love to see an analysis of whether menus result in more people ordering more items, perhaps more expensive bottles of wine, or both.
The new policies in Iowa infuriate me. Allowing 16 year olds to serve alcohol? Letting young children sell fireworks? How many journalists and news editors are drafting copy now for the first child to get stuck or locked in a meal locker, or harassed (or worse) while working late hours? This is a selfish, self-serving policy that should alarm parents and all adults with a sense of decency.
