QR codes should be REVERSED.
ALL vendors should be required to have a camera. I have an app that produces a unique QR code for each transaction.
The VENDOR scans MY QR code and REQUESTS for my to PAY them, showing me my receipt for auth on my device.
The only VENDOR QR-read codes should only be for information about the product, menu etc.

I used QR codes on product descriptions that led to the product page and lab testing results for said product onto which the physical size of the product was not large enough for pertinent information -- this was for cannabis product company for which I did some contracting labeling...
The upside of this, is that it ran through bitly and I was able to also, included with the QR scan, the geo-loc of the product scan which allowed me to map out the interest of various products based on the scan and location...
QR codes are FANTASTIC, but implemented so poorly...

So, this is something some apps actually do, just noting, where they scan the payer's QR code, not the vendor. Also, not sure why you are being downvoted.
