alt Hacker NewsThe word "requirements" is doing a lot of work there. I've never met a QR code where scanning it was required of me.

a bit off topic but the construction of the phrase: some word + "doing a lot of work" sounds so much like a claudism

Anecdotal, but I've encountered a number of places where it's more or less required.
- Restaurants: Menu is QR only. In one case, ordering food was QR only.
- Queueing up at my local Costco optical department requires scanning a QR code.
- Various other check-ins for various other government agencies and businesses.
- Urgent care check-in paperwork requiring QR code. No paper, and typing the loooong URL in manually is horrific.
