Background


Drive-thru sections are meant to be convenient and make things easier for those who don’t want to enter the restaurant. So imagine having waited in the queue only to get rejected by discriminating employees.

TikTok user @aira_meor shared her experience of being part of the deaf community and being shunned away from the KFC drive-thru.

Working around her disability, Aira had designed a method to communicate with the staff.

She usually uses a picture-book menu, which she created, and writes down her order to make things easier for all parties involved.
