Still Scratching My Head..

WHO IS THIS FOR????

[cams]

Yep. That's about on par with having braille on drive-up ATM's.

Thats for the 8 and 9 year old kids who are stealing cars these days. They only made it to the second week of 1st grade before the local homies got ahold of em and now they just need pictures to choose thier food.

After all, it is ' fast food ' and they are in a stolen car.....gotta get going kinda fast before the po-po come around.

Its for the illegal alien cashiers at the checkout window

No, I want a Big Mac...


El Grande Mac-o!


Oh shit, just give me the picture menu. I want this one right here!

It is for the Husband/Father who hates fast food and despises drive thru's, who has endured hours of mindless yapping about nothing, and has gotten to the end of his patience and cannot muster anything other than a grunt and a point at a picture.

I drove 6 days down to Indiana on leave a couple of weeks ago (had an excellent time; I hadn't been home in 6 years), and I can definitely say that I got to that point a few times.

This is driving me insane. If you can't read at all, you can't read that message. If you can't read English, you can't read that message. It keeps going around in circles like that for me....It's like having a radio station for the deaf!

Or how about television for the blind?

Yep. That's about on par with having braille on drive-up ATM's.

The Braille on drive-up ATMs makes little sense, but it's all about standard design. It's actually cheaper to make them one way with the "add-on" of Braille than to make two types.*

I suppose that's why they are on the elevators in the parking structures too.

[CloakAndDagger]

My best guess is that the "Picture Menus Available" sign comes from text-only menu era andpredates the picture menus right above it (and of course nobody bothered to remove the lower sign when the upper sign changed). But even then, the sign still would really only have been useful to the Burger King-uninitiated or a foreigner with novice English skills, but not to the completely illiterate.

Now, if this is a new BK, I'm just as baffled as you.

Thank you Dr. Reid. Don't you have some serial killers to profile?
