In your opinion.

I tried to have sex once, without my glasses, in a darkened restaurant. Boy was the waitress mad!!!:D:highfive::22yikes::pepper2::MOJE_whot:

I believe they should have talking menu's using touch screens I Pad's:D

Good one. :1rotfl:

LOL! I was at a business meeting recently where print was in an 8 point font. I pulled out a magnifying glass, and however eccentric I might have seemed I could at least read it. Next I'll be carrying my miner's light, which I put on when I really need to see close up.

I"m rarely without a pair of reading glasses because I stash them on my head. In fact, I have been known to find several pair "up there". Sometimes I find them "up there" in the morning when I go to shower - having read in bed before I went to sleep. Nothing better than wearing sunglasses and going into a dimly-lit store, go to put them "up there" again only to find a pair or two of reading glasses. How silly I must look!!!!!

Your should try again but this time think of baseball!

You are mistaken -NO additional cost to resturants.
 

Additional menus are printed for any resturant on a regular basis even if there is no menu change as they get dog eared doing a run in large print would have no additional cost to the business. Good customer service and discreat help to those who need it builds a good customer base and can mean the difference between a business that makes it and one that doesn't. This has been my expierience at least. Every time I have joined a company corporate has come down after a few months to find out why my figures have gone up and it was always customer service training and convience items that make it easier for the customer.

Not trying to be unsympathetic, but when does someone forgetting their reading glasses become the restaurant's problem? As others have posted, borrowing a pair from a fellow diner, or asking the server's assistance would seem more appropriate than having special menus printed.

you might think there is no additional cost - however - when the large/boldface print causes the menu to increae in volume from one to three pages, or from six to twelve pages as the menus @ denny's, perkins, two jay's, applebee's, cracker barrel, etc are likely to do - and - be further complicated with the cost of lamination and those add'l copies you mention - I think the cost will increase.

It would seem that with the increasing aging population globally that competitive minded owners would recognize the advantage of meeting aging customers needs. Such subtilties pay off well. Meeting customers needs vis a vis exceeding their expectations by anticipating their needs before they do is why some companies remain in bisness for generations.

I can'timagine a restaruant owner telling a customer that is having difficulty reading a menu ""Hey pal it ain't my problem". The ain't is used only for emphasis for those members who cringe over the misuse of the King's English
