Around here (Ontario) places that insisted on QR code menus seems to be starting to roll it back. Probably under backlash from public (esp older people) who sees it as obnoxious.

Myself I raise a stink every time; I don't like the tracking implications. If businesses insist on it, I try to take my business elsewhere.

I do art projects involving QR code, at first I was happy about this development because it was getting people to scan QR codes (no mean feat on the OS whose logo is a trash can) but I found the backlash disturbing.
