The Burger King nearest my home is directly across the street from an
agency for the deaf.  This BK carries special paper menus where you check
off what you want, indicating whatever you want on your selections
(veggies, condiments, etc).  Although it would be really nice if they had
at least one order person who signed, I have to believe that this is a step
in the right direction.

The printing on the forms indicate that this is a special menu for the
hearing impaired and is printed by BK corporate .... not a local effort.
It seems to me that ANY BK should be able to order these, and have them on
hand if they do a large business with H/I persons.

At the same time, a blind friend of mine bemoans the fact that almost NO
fast food restaurants carry braille menus on hand.  All they would really
need to do is produce ONE for each restaurant on plastic or
aluminum....they would last practically forever, and could just be kept at
the counter.
