-- the deaf and the Starbucks
A new Starbucks outlet in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia will
have 10 deaf baristas with 3 hearing staffers. DeafDigest
says next step should be opening a new outlet in New
York - same thing 10 deaf + 3 hearing - because it
was when an ugly discrimination lawsuit was filed by
a large group of deaf coffee drinkers few years ago.
And last week, the U.S. Business Leadership Network
said Starbucks is the best place for deaf and disabled
to work. Will Dunking Donuts copy Starbucks and
hire 10 deaf + 3 hearing staffers? A picture is at:

-- wine-making and the deaf
DeafDigest editor is vacationing in Portugal right
now. Because of time difference and tight travel
schedules, DeafDigests are being distributed
earlier than usual. Anyway DeafDigest editor
visited a wine-making museum in Duoro, a region
that have been making wines for 2.000 years. A
question was asked of the museum director - do
we have any deaf in the Duro wine-making region?
The answer, unfortunately, was no!
-- world's hottest game is not deaf-friendly
Do deaf people play Pokémon Go? Hope so,
becase they have full rights to enjoy
playing games on an equal basis with the
hearing. But is Pokémon Go deaf-friendly?
No, accodring to a recent magazine
article! Same old story - one has to
hear to stay ahead of others in
Pokémon Go.
