Not Tipping and Not Getting a Menu

We live here and eat breakfast out 3 or 4 times a week. Conditions permitting, we spend 3 hours working out and need a shower and food FAST! Other meals we cook, because we love to.

Some restaurants have laminated menus that are wiped down between use. Trust me, we watch. A very few others, Carmelita's and El Patio come to mind, that point to the code thing that take a smarter phone that ours.

At El Patio, we just said, "No tenemos un telefono," and a menu immediately appeared, and when we have visited since, they always bring us one, unless we say we don't need one, we know what we want. Their French Toast is amazing!

At Carmelita's, where we go to have the car cleaned out and washed, they roll over a huge board that has a menu on it. Great!

It is a great way to try to keep contact to the minimum, but they do work with the system. For us it has always been easy.

Relax, enjoy. Life is great, just be respectful of others.

So it seems like pushing you to have a smart phone is more common than ever. Is there a law that states one is required to have a smart phone?

I say this because flying out yesterday I was prompted to scan something with my phone for the CDC. I said sorry no phone. I also saw this in Mexico City at the gate before getting on the plane there. This maybe be something else they are rolling out??
Also the airport had no air conditioning yesterday. Also-2 some geniuses decided to put some stainless steel into the floor as guidance on where to go. Example from the ticket counters to security check-in. Enjoy having your roller luggage not roll any more.

Stay tuned.
