i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.
i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.

This is the only way to stop it. We must refuse to use it. All they watch is the numbers.
I bought a thing from Walmart using pickup for the first time, because the thing was "low stock", and I didn't want to drive there if they didn't have it. I get the email that it's ready, and they want me to download their stupid app to confirm. Fuck that, I went to the store, knowing I had a backup option, and found the last one of the thing on the shelf and bought that instead. Although, apparently the sign at the parking spot has a phone number you can call to let them know you've arrived--no mention of that option in the email.
