>grilled cheese (unless it's on some fancy bread with some exotic cheeses)
>toast and coffee

>>21968496
>add meat: $5
i see this a lot at Asian places where they'll list lo mein or something with a base price of $10.99 and you think it's a reasonable price, then you realize that doesn't include any kind of meat at all and you need to pay extra or you'll get plain noodles.

QR codes can get fucked, give me a menu you utter bunch of niggers

>Chinese restaurant
>predefined combination plates don't include everything you're craving

Why don't they just let you build a combination plate?

>>21968496

My big issue was restaurants having the QR code menus. Luckily, most of the local options got bullied into stopping the use of them.

>>21968542
Now look here, listen, DSP, they can run their business how they want. So settle down wingstop of redempion.

What happened to just using normal names? Appetizers, entrees, desserts, drinks, kids menu (if applicable). Wow, that was hard.

>>21968577
>>21968659
Thirding this.

>>21968659
I really don't mind QR codes THAT much. I feel like its annoying if the restaurant has a menu so small they could just print it out on cheap printer paper. What chaps my ass is when the QR code doesn't work or it does work but doesn't include drinks then the drinks menu IS a physical menu they have to bring you.

Zoomer/internet slang integrated into the menu. Pic related was posted just today on Facebook in a group where local restaurants post specials, created during COVID to help keep local places alive through all the restrictions and other bullshit. What could possibly require such a wordy post, you might wonder. A fucking grilled ham and cheese sandwich.

QR codes are just a lazy half step between a paper menu and something like a Japanese tablet menu. It's both cheap AND inconvenient.

Agreed
It feels like a gross attempt to be personal/relatable. I make vulgar jokes with friends, not strangers or fucking businesses.

>>21969385
Yeah. I'm no prude, not by any stretch, but I see some of the shit they sell in the pharmacy section of the grocery store and it gets pretty explicit (or worse, infantile). "Booty Wipes" instead of "hemorrhoid wipes." Shit like that. Just seems rude. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it.

I've walked out of places for this. No I'm not going to shout at the freebirds employee for my order. No, I'd rather not listen to shitty pop music while eating lunch.

If the item has a silly name I call it by it's regular name "bacon cheeseburger please" or I just point.
I'm not saying "I will have one bac-tastic cheeseburgero thank you".

>"two crazy bros with a dream" micro-breweries/gastropubs
Other anons ITT have touched on it. Millennial hipster faggots watching 5 seasons of kitchen nightmares and running out and getting ahold of business loans. All the while being too retarded to do the basic research to realize 90% of restaurants fail in their first year, and 95% fail within 3 years. I'm glad all those fuckin places are going out of business. I hope the millennial dudebros lost their ASSES on those stupid places. Fuckin $15 burger and a basket of fries costs $7 extra. I hope all those faggots die sad. It's like if Mumford and sons started a burger joint with shitty beer.

Is that a real statistic? Christ almighty if so. I knew it was bad, just didn't know how bad. But it makes sense.

>>21970329
Those are definitely the kind of numbers that have been floating around for many years.

>>21970329
Food trucks have skewed the statistics because they're much easier to keep going even if you're hemorrhaging money. But the failure rate numbers for ACTUAL pubs/restaurants within the first few years is INSANELY high. Let me ask you this, how many of those millennial hipster gastropubs are still open in your area? In 2015, there was like 30 in my area. Now I think there's only 5 or so left, and they're struggling

>>21970348
I'm lucky that I live in a pretty relaxed but "old school" area. Small city, 12k people or so. Almost everything here is fast food or restaurants that have been around for decades, with a few exceptions. Not much has changed at those places aside from the prices. But I guess that's unavoidable.

Doesn't tell me how much something costs. Usually this is drinks, but it pisses me off with everything

>Computer Kiosk service that is meant to be "more convenient" than human service but is more of an issue and is basically there for them to save money.
Like one place I went each table had a medallion you had to grab the medallion go to the kiosk, scan the medallion which takes forever for it to register it as scanned, enter your order, pay (with a service charge, you had to thank the kiosk for their service apparently), then they bring it over.

i fucking hate that, i don't check menus for the regional prices, i check them to see what FOOD i want to eat, and i won't drive to your shit restaurant without knowing what you sell either.

The only place I ever found this acceptable at was a whiskey bar that had hundreds if not over a thousand whiskeys. They had shelves with one one of those ladders you see in old libraries to get to them and I assume a lot were limited run. It was annoying to scroll through the list on my phone but they would need a huge paper menu and have to change it constantly so it made sense.

>>21977038
Beer and liquor make sense. For breweries that make different stuff often, like you said, they'd have to print menus constantly.
