My phone is configured to block all Meta hosts, so Instagram is a 404 for me. If I can't buy from you or work with you without disabling Blokada, I'm walking away.
@CppGuy @rootschange @NudelnAlDente so does our wifi at home.

Bartender: "We don't have a physical menu. You have to check us out on #Instagram to get the cocktail list."
I find them on Instagram only to discover that it's impossible to see their menu there when not logged in.
I. Don't. Have. An. Instagram. Account.
Me: "Yeah, I'll have a small beer, thanks." (at less than quarter of the price of a cocktail)
FFS businesses, stop getting captured by #Meta. It hurts your business.Some small places that survived the pandemic shutdowns shed their waitstaff, so self-ordering apps, web apps, and kiosks support that reduced staffing. It's pretty hostile to some customers if there is no physical kiosk, though.
In my case, the significance of one QR code on a corner of a table wasn't obvious, and it's a wonder that someone noticed the increasingly restive old people sitting with no drinks or settings in front of them, and came over and explained it to us.

I also don't have a meta account.
but imginn.com can be a workaround if
you want to see something. -
@ArtHarg @NudelnAlDente Nonono, I'm not talking about reservations! I'm talking about getting on the waitlist as a walk-in!
@epicdemiologist @NudelnAlDente Oh, right. That’s a bit excessive. They could hand out numbered tokens or something.

@ArtHarg @NudelnAlDente Exactly!

@hypostase Nope, fuck 'em. They lost the sale on a more expensive drink. The beer was fine, local & cheap.
@NudelnAlDente @hypostase I would have just left entirely.

I would do the same if it weren't for Mrs Wife, who would strongly object.

@CaptainAyeAye @NudelnAlDente Any shop that still has portfolios on their own website is 100% more likely to get my business.

"Do ... do they pay you or something?"
"What? Of course not. We pay them."

️. Kinda feels like we caved. -

@roguefoam @raganwald @NudelnAlDente That sounds familiar and *may* have been the one. I found the hidden app about a week after the fact as I recall.
