-- McDonald's problems with the deaf
Does McDonald's have too many problems
with the deaf? In the late 1970's,
a deaf man, with money, wanted to buy
a McDonald's franchise. McDonald's said
no. And deaf people are not "allowed"
to order at the drive-in window, must
use the voice kiosk. And now this -
a deaf man, with experience in fast
food field, wanted to apply for
a job at McDonald's in Missouri,
bringing in his hearing sister as an
interpreter during interview. McDonald's
said no. As result, the deaf man sued and
won $56,500 (but most of the money will
go to his attorney!)
-- blind man wants to be deaf for one reason
Jay Forry, who is blind, is a professional
movie critic. Many people listen to his
movie criticisms. At a speech at Polk State
College in Florida, he said he wanted to
be deaf - for one reason - so that he will
not have to listen to Spike Lee's dirty
voice language in movies! Good point -
but Forry forgot one thing - deaf people
can watch Lee's dirty language because
these are captioned!
