Even Starbucks, who teaches staff ASL signs, still talks using their mouths to customers.
Though I guess with fat people the "stop ass-uming things! you can't tell I'm different!" argument doesn't apply, cause, well, just LOOK at them.

Starbucks teaches their staff ASL signs? Is this really widespread? I wish they had done that when I had worked there!

I think it started, or at least became a big thing, when a staff member learned some ASL to give a deaf customer the same experience as hearing customers. Until that point, I guess they communicated by writing stuff down to one another.
