GOOD NEWS: Patron With Low Vision Sued McDonald's And Burger King

In New York a patron with low vision sued McDonald's and Burger King for not providing a large print menu.

The law requires that restaurants provide effective communication by giving auxiliary aids and related services to patrons with low vision. Auxiliary aids include qualified readers, sound devices and large print. The patron must request an effective communication method and the restaurant can decide which method to give. So the restaurant can read the menu and bill. Alternatively, staff can play a sound recording of the menu and bill.   Lastly, the staff can give a large print menu and bill.    If one of these methods is offered then the patron cannot file a lawsuit.

Effective communication cases depend on witness testimony. So the patron should have a witness and record the communication exchange. In court restaurant staff will always say they offered an effective communication method.


The fast food patron won the lawsuit on appeal.

Donald J. Trump
21 5th Avenue
Manhattan, NY 10022

Dear Mr. Trump:

It is well documented that Whites with disabilities receive better public and private services than Blacks and Asians with disabilities. See Blackness and Disability by Christopher M. Bell. There is no political discourse in the Presidential Race about the plight of Blacks and Asians with disabilities.

Our Club requests a response to the following questions:

1.     How will You encourage the independent living rights of Blacks and Asians with disabilities?
2.     How will You safeguard the rights of Blacks and Asians with developmental disabilities?
3.     How will You make sure all Black and Asians kids with disabilities are educated in the least restrictive environment?
4.     How will You make sure the air, bus, rail, shuttle and taxi rights of Blacks and Asians with disabilities are protected?
5.     How will You reduce the 60 percent or higher unemployment rate of Blacks and Asians with disabilities?
6.     Will You reduce the private enforcement rights of the Americans with Disabilities Act?
7.     How will You make health care and housing better for Blacks and Asians with disabilities are protected?


Thank you for your attention to Blacks and Asians with disabilities.

Respectfully yours,
Jack Pinnock, UAAAC Vice President
