That's why in some ways I don't mind that my country still pays for mobile data, because I just don't even bother at restaurants anymore "oh, I've run out of data, I can't scan that, here's my money"

Because of how severely covid lock downs hit our state, every single restaurant I've been to in the last 5 years has used a QR code to order and pay.

I have allergies, so this means I mostly just order black coffee when it's QR only.

I'm not giving you all of my personal details for an overpriced $5 black coffee. The result is that I sit there with my friends, fiddling my thumbs, not buying anything.
