McDonalds and the Handicapped

I haven't noticed it at McD's, but I have at other places. What I want to know is why is there braille in a drive-up ATM????

Truthfully I don't go there alot and when I do it's to drive through...so I have never noticed anything like that....it's a wonderful concept though...

I haven't eaten at mcdonalds in years so I really don't know what they have anymore, but probably if they don't have it now, they will get it soon, they should all follow suit.

No, that is not available here...At least not to my knowledge! It should be though...I think that is great! I shall look next time I am there! ~Heavens~

No my McDonald's dosent have those features yet, but I think its great idea for mcdonalds to add special features like that to more of there restaurants in fact I think our society should have a lot more things in the world for those who have disabilities.

This topic is very close to my heart because I'm a handicapped too. Sadly we don't have that kind of menu here but it's a great idea... I hope we can have that too..Godspeed...

Going through the drive thru I saw a sign telling drivers there is a braille menu available. At first I kept thinking, how is a blind person going to see that sign? They can't see, and I sure as heck hope they aren't driving. But of course relatives, coworkers, or friends can see it, and it will be handy if someone riding with them should ever need a braille menu.

I can't remember the last time I went INTO a McDonalds. Probably to go to the bathroom on the road. When I do that, I will get a drink or some fries, their fries are great! I don't eat at Micky D's because they have so few things on their menu I can eat!

Oh that is great what they are doing at McDonald's for the handicapped. I do not know about the one here, I can't tell you the last time I have been inside one. I love the drive thru and then the dog of ours gets to go for a ride also.

hmmm... menu in braille... nope.. nothing like that on our shores yet. that's real thoughtful/smart of the store management to do that.. really makes them look real 'good' in the eyes of the society, doesnt it? there is one McD outlet in our city that has deaf and mute at the counter selling the food.. have you seen anything like that?.. the customers only points to what they want on the menu on the counter and pays accordin to the cash register.. i was quite impressed when i first went to that particular outlet.

Hi grandpa bob... I am not sure about that...but our Mcdonalds doesn't have a handicapped wheelchair accessible entrance... Actually the way the doors are set up is just plain weird....but no one in a wheelchair will be able to enter because the access just isn't there... I find this very sad...I mean I thought that all establishments had to have wheelchair accessabilities....

I've never noticed, but I think it's a great idea as well. Blind and illiterate people want burgers too. That's very nice of McDonald's to think of that.

Bob, to tell you the truth, I've never paid any attention to the menus lately. I really don't think ours near us does, though. I usually look up at the menus and haven't seen anything different. But I suppose they would have to have card menus for the blind. All of ours has the picture menus on the wall.

wow that is amazing. they are handicapped friendly.

Now that you mention this I am not certain that ours does have a menu for the blind. They have braille on the doors to the restrooms though.

yes this is a very good idea it should be applied in all stores as well

What a great idea! I've never really noticed to be honest because I usually go thru the drive-thru.

Well, our Mcdonalds here does not have such things that you have mentioned. But it is very interesting to note such things are already in place for people with disabilities. That would surely help those with handicapped. It is very much a welcome development and hope that McDonalds in our country would follow soon.

I have honestly never noticed this before. I'll have to check next time I go. I think this is a wonderful thing and all public places should be this considerate.

I have never seen that but I think that is great I love mc'ds as well anything to help make money though but it's a great thing they put that in there. I think all places should have that feature. Right on Mcdonalds
