    Default Quick Question about McDonalds...




    If someone is Blind, how can they read the sign stating that Braille menu's are available? Further more, if someone is blind and has a friend with them who can see that the braille menu's are available, why can't the friend just read off the regular menu to the blind friend. And even further more, It McDonalds. You have a choice between burgers and nuggets...

    that's what i was wondering, all it's gonna do is get your hopes up for a great looking burger, then when you get a half smashed burger falling out of it's wrapper you get pissed off

    Ah, ya that makes sense. But wouldn't the person still have to be able to read the sign stating that picture menus are available?

    I always wondered what the point was of having the brail and head phone features on atms... If you need someone to get you to an atm, why the hell not just let them do the transaction for you?

    Just wondering why a sign was posted about Braille Menus, since a blind person can not read the sign

    Not to mention:

    WHORESLOUNGE (52 Viewing)
    100% useless, BS, rants, callouts, etc. (read the Privacy Policy) *Some material may be NWS

    lol, I'm just giving you a hard time. I was bored and saw the sign so I thought it would make for conversation tonight. Since IA gets boring and lonely at night

    it's so that if some super politically correct asshole comes in there and thinks that things should be exactly as they want them and notices that they dont accomodate the blind they might get pissed and sue or try to do some other bullshit

    to answer your questions that i actually know the answers:
    the sign with a picture of picture menus on the exterior is to visualize menus with pictures for people who cannot read well, as well if someone is mute. braille is available as a courtisy, and braille is not solely used by completely blind people, as people with severe sight problems use it as well.

    the atm has braille for two reasons: 1) for when its dark and you might not be able to make out the numbers, the one with raises on it is the 5 or enter.
    2) for people with sight problems not as bad as pure blindness.
    When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
