Starbucks’s new deaf-friendly store takes orders in sign language

At a new Starbucks location in Washington, DC, every staff member is fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and the store is tailored to a deaf clientele.

The Seattle-based coffee chain is calling this location “The Signing Store,” and it’s located near Gallaudet University, the world’s only university designed specifically for those who are deaf.
