A Twitter post directed me to this blog note from Fred’s Head:Braille and Large Print Beverage Brochures at Starbucks.
Did you know that there are over 87,000 beverage combinations at Starbucks? To help you order, Starbucks has made their popular brochure, “Make It Your Drink,” available in both Braille and Large Print. Ask your barista for it the next time you visit your local Starbucks.
The input from customers, partners (employees), and disability organizations helped guide this effort. Starbucks would specifically like to thank the American Council of the Blind, the American Association of the Deaf-Blind and the Seattle Lighthouse for their input. Thank you also to Easy to Read Documents for producing the Braille and large print.
Starbucks does not mention this on their website, but I received a confirmation from their customer service folks. So I look forward to finding out if my local Starbucks has one!
Inaccessible fast food menus has always been a pet peeve of mine. Just try asking the person at the counter to read the menu for you! For every fast food place and coffee shop, I have one favorite menu item memorized. If it is a new place, I often look for a take-out menu and my low vision aids. From now on, I will ask for a large print menu first.
