fast food

I lost my voice for a couple days this week. If I had to talk at all it was in a strained whisper... On the phone it was nearly impossible to understand what I was saying.

Which got me to thinking... how do deaf people order from the drive thru?

It kinda sounds like the start to some degrading joke... but I am completely serious... how do the deaf communicate with people like bank tellers, dry cleaners, fast food joints and stuff like that.
All I could come up with is maybe they write their order down and just wait until they get up the the window... I don't know...
How do deaf people get their children's attention... I tried snapping, stamping my foot even slapping my leg.... sometimes it worked... most of the time it didn't...
I must find out!
