me too, I pull up to the first window and told them I'm deaf can't hear the speaker box and I placed my order at the window, and I could see some cars behind me wasn't pleased, but it didn't stop me....
Yea that would be cool. I hope it will not be too long before they will think of something like this for people who cannot use the speaker box to order food.DeafMonkey said:Wish drive-thur have buttons on the screen what we want to order it lol cause deaf ppl cant hear what the speaker said

One time I went to McDonalds few years ago, the lady refused take my order and told me to go inside because I am 2 orders behind....I was like WTF! I sped off and called McDonald's headquarter and explained what happened.
Other than that I had no problem write it down. I always have paper and pen with me in my backpack purse.

Since when do you need to be hearing to open a door?ravensteve1961 said:Well every damn bathroom i walk into has the sign.
Wheres a deaf door sign?
Not always true about the hearing people part. But then again, I have been raised in an unusually considerate family. I know most of us (hearies) don't understand the difficulties of this. However, I've always thought of things like this. I liked thinking about life as a deaf person, blind person, deaf-blind, with mobility problems, etc. It could be my analytical mind, too.... you never know. I think about a lot of things most people don't even think about.BCCDeafInfo said:
Totally agreed. Restaurants and other things accessible to hearing people should also be accessible to deaf people.BCCDeafInfo said:
I would never do that!BCCDeafInfo said:

Seriously, though, I hate drive-throughs. It's probably my autism. The speaker-things are too loud (they're so loud I can't understand them), and besides, if I go to Taco Bell in Waukesha, my fiancee and I can order in ASL if we go inside because there is a Deaf employee. Yeah, they really have a Deaf employee, so anybody who's Deaf can order without trouble. They also have people who can take orders in English or Spanish, too, so I can order in any language I know. We never go through drive-through because she can't hear the speaker-thing at all, I can't understand them, and they usually get my order wrong if I use them.
With banks, can't you send a note saying you're deaf through the sucking-thingy? I don't need to (I'm a go-inside person everywhere unless the inside is closed--but then I have to interpret for my fiancee if I have to use a drive-through), but I know most tellers I've seen will read it and send notes back and forth if the first one says you're deaf.
Sweetheart said:Once, I went in Drive-Thru at Burger King, it got long line, I dont care because I have a right same like another people do stop by Drive-Thru. I finally stopped by the window and showed my paper to that man and he said NO, wont take my order because too long line and I was like, Im deaf! And he said no no no, wont take my order then I decided to stay, wont MOVE at all. That man is manager of that Burger King. I dont care until his boss finally show up and I said Im deaf to that man then he yelled at that man horrible until said YOU ARE FIRED! and that manger gulped and that boss man gave me FREE food, everything... I was like whoa, thanks then leaving...
I got the guts to being that way to any resturant if they dont respect me for being deaf
