Those aren’t exactly qr codes, but rather a scan code, different thing.
Though yes, one could pay using qr here. But I never do it because anyone can make QR codes. With those scan codes you need more additional verification, it’s safer.
Honestly, it might be I’m wrong about this since I don’t live in a big city so maybe it’s different in like NYC or some shit, but I’m under the impression that QR Codes have kinda been dead in the US. At least I hardly ever see one in the wild anymore. Mainly I presume for that reason. It’s a prime way for malware injection.
most places that use qr codes here have them on a display and change them every five seconds.
Where?

Some enterprising individuals in the US figured out you could print out your Venmo QR and stick it to parking signs to get people to just send you money
Lol that sounds about right. As someone who works in retail (please kill me now), I can def tell you that people don’t pay attention.
