She does mostly drive through order taking at a local Mc but when a

deaf customer walks in, they grab her to do dual station!

Daughter did say, most deaf DO USE the drive through than walk in....... i

Then you were lucky! There was a Deaf woman (only can Sign but she can also

write notes) who tried the drive thru because her baby was sleeping in the

car. The fast food place told her she had to come inside! So she filed a

lawsuit and won! That was around 1994 or 1995.

Hi Silly

This is great. I just did the survey. I always go thru the drive thru and no

matter what they do. They have been nice. I don't think I ever had any trouble

since I go up to the window

and tell them.

I know there are several people in this world who can't communicate

orally and the drive throughs are a real problem for them.

I think the best way to go would be to have eletronic menus one could

choose from, thus giving them some dignity when they place an order..

I'll bet the electronic ordering woud catch on with the normal

hearing too!.

I didn't think of it until mentioned it, but while I was

vacationing last year near Orlando Florida, there was a Mcs

off of I-4 (Haines City) that did have electronic ordering. It was

indoors, not through the drive thru, but I'm quite sure it could

easily be adapted for drive thru use. I actually used it and, being

a picky eater, I was able to customize my sandwich without any

problems. If I had my choice between the electronic unit or

ordering in person...I'd go high tech every time.

Hi cyndi,

it is normal to have earaches during the healing process, but if they

are particularly bothersome you should contact either your family dr

or your implant surgeon to see if you might have an infection.tis

much better to be safe than sorry and there's no need to suffer if

you don't have to.. It's very possible it's a side effect of the

surgery and part of the healing process though.

Please keep us posted.

Hope to meet you too.

Hugs,

Silly
