I don't know about you, but I don't have my device super-glued to my hand. In fact, if I'm going out to run errands in my neighborhood, I often don't bring such a device at all.
If I walk into a cafe (which is what GP was talking about), I'm going to (horror of horrors!) speak to the nice person standing behind the counter to ask them to make me my coffee.
I'm certainly not going to go full on passive aggressive and stand in front of the person taking orders and place my order on an "app."
In fact, if a retail establishment attempted to require that, I'd just leave.
Which I've done several times at restaurants who, when I ask for a menu, am informed that I should "scan the QR code" on a label stuck to the table with my phone to get the menu.

No thanks.
