There useful.
To be conservative, then, is to prefer the familiar to the unknown, to prefer the tried to the untried, fact to mystery, the actual to the possible, the limited to the unbounded, the near to the distant, the sufficient to the superabundant, the convenient to the perfect, present laughter to utopian bliss. ― Michael Joseph Oakeshott, Rationalism in Politics and Other Essays

They encode useful information. They're like bar codes but I think can carry more info. I can view smartphone messages on my computer: At start up the app displays a QR Code and on the phone, in the messages app, I pair the two by reading the code.

I wish they would use them on food packaging so if you want to see the ingredients list, you can bring it up on your phone in a font size that isn't intended for postage stamps.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

Largely an age thing. The electronic world used to offer "old fashioned" options but as we old folks die off there are less options for the rest of us. Personally if a restaurant wants business they can ring me out and I detest self check out. But the world spins on. For example it seems to me that Walmart and big box stores have less and less staffed checkout lanes staffed with less and less competent people

QR code scams hit Texas, officials warn they're being used to steal personal information: "San Antonio, Austin, and now Houston city officials say they’re advising customers to avoid QR codes on pay-to-park stations."
