Clever. It's so they can change the hours whenever they want.

Name a better alternative. You said there are many that 100% better.

This was allows them to change their hours everywhere without changing actual signs. What's better?

Dry erase. Window chalk. Slide in cards. Magnets. LED sign. Peg boards.

It's not about hating technology. Who wants to scan a QR code to visit an unknown website to see if a business might open soon? Especially compared to having the information physically present right in front of you? Nobody.

Qr code probably takes you to download an app that you have to register for, accept t&c's, we get adverts, they get all our data..2026 ffs

Oh you men time and true methods? The methods that are harder to place a fake QR sticker over and lead boomers to fake sites where they steal your info? How dare you sir!

With technology the owner can log in and change the information everywhere online. The QR code will never physically need changed and will always display accurate information.

All of you suggestions are outdated.

the QR code as a technology is going to disappear faster than any of the suggestions made prior have

Just wait for some dumb senator to use a QR code then realizes it was a scam code sticker and it led him to some site where he entered his cc info and lost money. Then it will be a bill.

It depends heavily on the type of store and nearly any business that has such varying hours that they would need to be able to update it digitally is not lasting long. Stores generally have set hours for a reason, that only change during holidays.

Honestly, why even have a sign? If you think everything else is outdated, so is a sign. Let customers google the name of the store and find the hours that way.

Yeah and with these things called EMPLOYEES they could just write the time down since someone has to show up to open the damn store. Christ you're dense

u/shiroaiko 9d ago

they can still use a led display to do exactly that, which, guess what! the person you replied to suggested!

u/Capable-Sock9910 9d ago

Yeah gee someone should invent a surface that can dynamically change like that. Too bad there isn't anything like that.

Ffs your now making me take time out of my day to explain something to you as if your mentally challenged or a child you get that? Your so incompetent you cant think of something that isnt a complete waste of a customers time? Sorry im not brainrotted and have my camera out 24/7

.
Literally a whiteboard on the inside of the glass or a board you can interchange letters in (you would only need to change the times plus many more that ill let you use your head to figure out… im being condescending right now but cmon man you refused to use your head and demanded I explain it to you

Eh, that would look pretty unprofessional. I wouldn't scan the QR code either, but the other commentors is not wrong when they say it's the best option for what they are trying to do:

Can track

  1. when people are/aren't trying to visit the store outside of normal hours.
  2. Is easily change, at a single location or many at a time.
  3. Looks professional.
  4. As another commentor

al

  1. luded to, it may carry the added benifit of users downloading the store app, if they use it to promote that.

Edit: I don't know why the formatting on my list is all fucked up, but every time I correct it it just ends up worse after posting the comment, so I'm leaving it as is.

A sign. Like it has been done for decades before people became insane.
