This kind of reminds me of the old joke “what did the blind man say when he walked past a fish market?”

Take a guess!

If he is blind, how did he know it was a McDonald’s?

After all, the chain recently managed to start providing all-day breakfast, “to the awe of McDonald’s aficionados everywhere,” it says.”


Is anyone else completely flummoxed, that this was wording in the announcement of the suit? The wording that people were awed that McD started all day breakfast?? Really??? The world was in “awe” at that development???

He reached into his bag for his hamburger and only felt fries?

The best one I’ve seen is Braille buttons at drive up ATMs.

So he wants McDonald to construct and maintain a new additional after hours window, only for blind people?
Between a Second window, and making additional bathrooms to accommodate the Transgenders, they will either go broke, or have to stop offering certain features to anybody.
If this blind gentleman wants a Big Mac, then get there before the main serving area is closed!

They wont serve you on a uni-cycle either.

There's a "dat boi" joke in there somewhere, but I'll let someone else find it

Closing the drive thru before the inside means longer hours for clean up for the employees which in turn means the price of a burger goes up.

“Clearly the person needs to sue the state of Louisiana for not issuing drivers’ licenses to blind people.”

Well, why not? Michigan sells hunting licenses to the blind!

So, if the idiot stick were hit by a car, i wonder who he’d sue? Dumb, dead, and blind is no way to go through life, son.

One time before I retired on our way back from a call during a busy late night I decided to buy my crew ice cream cones for jobs well done. The McDonalds in our district was open, but only their drive-through. The fire truck of course will not fit through the drive through. I knocked on their door, one of the employees came to it and refused to take our order and said we couldn’t use the drive through either. I was just going to give up, but a car with three women on their way back from the Casino apparently saw my long face as I left the McDonald’s door. They bought us all ice cream cones and refused to take our money.

I talked to the manager about it afterwards and he said that it violated McDonalds policy and they would get in trouble if they served someone in the drive through without a motor vehicle.

These days, “awe” isn’t awe it’s cracked up to be. Deflation?
