Huh?

So I'm in the drive-thru at the M-ford BK the other day, when I notice a prominent sign underneath the menu:

Picture menus available at the window.

Which is great, except for one tiny detail: if I am illiterate and need a picture menu, what is the likelihood that I can read the sign telling me about it?

Okay, maybe the person is in the car with someone who does read. (In which case, can't they just interpret the menu for them?)

Maybe the person doesn't speak English? (Again, how would you understand the sign?)

I'm just sayin' is all. This reminds me of braille instructions in the drive-up ATMs. Huh?
