In a cafe or a restaurant. Why haven’t they got braille or at the very least, a few large font ones you can ask for?
I’m sure there are, but if there are, then there isn’t usually any awareness or mention of them.
I’m OK if I’ve got my readers on. But what about people who are far worse than me?
Now, if I’ve forgotten my glasses, it’s pot luck really, I usually have something I know is on there if I’ve been before.
But, you can always look at the menu online before you go. I’ve done this before if I know in advance where I’m going for a meal.
I’m one of those people you usually don’t give 2 choices to anyway or else I’m there for ages trying to pick, but then just have what I normally always have.
Let me give you an example…
When I go, I can’t even see what I want to eat, apart from the titles if I’m lucky. I won’t be able to what variations they have, so have to either think of what I want and ask if it’s on there, or have someone read bits out.
The best was, when someone knows you so well that they can order for you both and you trust them because you always like the same things.
It isn’t law in the UK for large print or Braille menus. Some do, but that’s because the owners, bosses thought to do it. Why? I’ve have an idea to that.
Never before, when I was walking around loving life with my 20/20 vision, did I think of any of this.
It’s flying under the radar. It never crossed my mind about how would other people coped with a standard menu.
Unless you have it, and whatever ‘it’ it is. You can’t explain or understand it, or notice all this stuff. Because you didn’t have to.
