WTF>>>
Never will go back
I want a menu, I want pay in CASH
as to many using phones to pay, 80% of them it takes 2.3x as long to pay as they dont know what the fuck they are doing or something goes wrong....and they have to start all over !!!
a qr code, telling me to download it on my phone,
I have seen this before. What are these QR codes? Are the installing software that contains the menu? What else might you be installing at the same time? Or are they just a link to a website?

They are a link to a website and do not install any apps.Doc67 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 8:54 amphuketrichard wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 7:57 amI am one of those:

Re: Masala Dosa Street Kitchen
I use my computer, never do any digital transactions and certainly no typing when I am away from my desk. It's good discipline, and helps to avoid much of the dumbing-down caused by digital technology.hanno wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 4:19 am Pretty sure our parents complained how TV's were going to make us all stupid (though they were probably right), our grandparents saw radio as the end of the world, and our grandparents the telegraph as the coming of the apocalypse.
All the people here complaining about cash-less payments and digital payments: you are hacking out your comments on what exactly? Pen and paper?
They were right about TV and they are right about smart phones and their cretinising effects.
But to bolster your argument, Socrates was against the use of written texts as it meant that not all information would have to be held in your head. There is always opposition to new technologies, not all justified.
I do have a smart phone and keep it in a locked drawer. Unfortunately it's needed for banking since banks increasingly refuse to provide online (via pc) access.

Re: Masala Dosa Street Kitchen
They are perfectly safe to use as long as you can trust the software (Fujitsu, Post Office, cough) and they haven't been hacked.
Maybe use a different smart phone for your banking.

There should be a whole thread on this subject. Poor old Hanno has had his excellent food report completely hijacked by tech issues - apologies for my part in this @hannoStravaiger wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 9:53 amThey are perfectly safe to use as long as you can trust the software (Fujitsu, Post Office, cough) and they haven't been hacked.

Re: Masala Dosa Street Kitchen
this is really getting off topic and apologies but.......
just did my first Phone qr code order for a 50 gram brick of weed
Amazing how efficient/quick it was
who would have thought 2 years ago i could order weed via line, pay with my SCB account, using my phone and have it delivered, with NO worries about police showing up
Its a new world

Re: Masala Dosa Street Kitchen
Dosas are a South Indian thing. They are usually a light enough breakfast/ lunch item with a light masala filling or just alone with chutney/ sambar and don't ever include stuff like hummus or salad.
While we're on the topis of dosas, Lotus Dosa Corner is pretty good.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

The Indians in Kenya are mostly from Gujarat, that is why Dosa was never a thing there.John Bingham wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 11:58 pmDosas are a South Indian thing.

QR code weed orders - fantastic.
QR menus - from the pit of hell.
It’s almost like a different person wrote this post…
