The customer apparently got angry when, according to Yahoo News, he was asked to scan a QR code by one of the restaurant employees. He briefly argued with the worker before smashing the equipment.
According to the New South Wales website, most businesses in the region must keep track of who they visited premises for contact tracing. An app, called the Service NSW app, is currently used by businesses and customers to keep track of where people signed in (using the QR code) and can be referenced later in case of a positive COVID-19 -diagnosis.
