Matthew Reigle Spotlights 3 Reader Gripes on QR Menus, Brunch and Avocados

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 10

Reader responses drove this week’s Gripe Report, with Matthew Reigle highlighting complaints about brunch hassles, QR-code-heavy restaurants and how to buy avocados without wasting money.
Brunch drew fire for eating up most of a day and for hard-to-get reservations, with one Mother’s Day outing ending at a restaurant offering only 2 menu items—steak and eggs or eggs Benedict.
QR codes were the sharpest restaurant complaint, as readers described being pushed to scan for menus and even to pay, while Reigle argued paper menus remain part of the dining experience.
Avocados supplied the practical coda: one reader advised choosing less-handled fruit from the back of the bin, matching ripeness to use within 1 to 3 days, and storing them atop the refrigerator.
The column extends Reigle’s earlier food-gripes edition by shifting from his own complaints to a reader-sourced roundup of everyday dining frustrations.
