In addition to the QR Codes in the drinks at the Uptown eatery, they were emblazoned on staff T-shirts and used as temporary tattoos, placed on a dining-area wall and above urinals, even displayed on two outdoor billboards visible to Uptown hipsters on streets and rooftop patios.
Those scanning any of these codes would get a restaurant coupon and sometimes see a video.

Green-thumb types shopping at Home Depot's garden centers will find QR codes placed in plant pots linked to detailed care tips. Read More
