We Want Physical Menus At Restaurants

Author Morty

Yes! We don’t want to use our phones to look at an online menu! A poll was conducted and asked people if they prefer paper menus or using a QR code at restaurants!

Seventy-one percent of people polled said they want a paper menu or some type of physical menu to look at. Ten percent said they loved the QR code menus. And fifteen percent of people said they really didn’t care either way.

The QR menu phase obviously became more popular after the pandemic. To remove any type of germs that may be passed along on physical menus, QR codes were used.

They poll also found that QR code menus were more popular out West and more popular with younger people! People in their 20s, about one in five preferred it. For people sixty-five and older, they said one in one-hundred like them.

And the results of the poll showed that only forty-five percent of people said they have used a QR code to view a menu!

The Wildest City In The US Is In Nevada

The new report is out on “America’s Wildest Cities.” Number one? Well – it’s not Las Vegas. But another Nevada city leads the pack.

The new list includes some “snowbird” favorite destinations in Florida and Arizona, like Tucson, Sarasota, and Tampa.

Warm states like Florida and Arizona have reputations are definitely popular SNOWBIRD destinations, but that doesn’t necessarily mean their cities shut down at 5:00 P.M., after all the senior citizens have finished dinner. Wait – yes it does.

The report was compiled using many factors, including alcohol and binge drinking stats, marijuana use, harder drugs like cocaine, casinos, and strip clubs. Does it sound fun yet? Yeah – not the prettiest factors, but so be it.

What is the “wildest city? It’s this writers hometown – the highest “wild” score went to RENO, Nevada.

Now, growing up in Reno, I certainly don’t remember all of those things being a factor . For us it was the 24 hour city, sure, but it was also skiing, lakes, shows concerts. Yes, before Las Vegas became what it is today, there weren’t many concerts. Artists went to Reno, because Las Vegas was where “entertainers went to die.” (That quote is directly from Las Vegans, years ago.)

How did your city fare?

Portland, Oregon is second, followed by Traverse City, Michigan, and then – yep –  Las Vegas! Followed by Milwaukee and Pittsburgh.

There are also a lot of “not-so-sleepy” Florida and Arizona cities at the top, like Tucson at number 6,  Sarasota at number 8, Phoenix number 9, and Tampa (sorry Panthers)  at number 11.

They even beat out cities like New Orleans (number 15), Atlantic City (number 16), Nashville (number 17), Los Angeles (number 30???), and New York City (number 40???). Hmmm…

Of the 50 cities considered, El Paso, Texas ranked as the LEAST wild. Well – I mean…

Here are some of my personal pictures of the beautiful things Reno, Nevada has to offer.
