I refuse to use them. There isn't just one reason, but off the top of my head:
- I don't like being tracked
- I don't have a smartphone
- I like to see the prices printed because that makes it much harder to present me with different pricing based on date, my phone or profile
- Dining out is one of the few places where I can get away from computers
- I'll tip as much (or as little) as I see fit
- Places that force you and/or your companions to bring out their phones tend to have those phones on the table (with all of the associated interruptions/cat video sharings/other distractions) for the rest of the meal
Usually I just ask for a paper menu, which quite a few places still have, and if they don't they might have a customer tablet lying around. And if it is forced then I just walk, there usually are plenty of restaurants.
