That coffee shop menu board design drove me crazy for a month

There's this place near my apartment in Austin that has a chalkboard menu where the drinks are listed in random order with no categories. I'd stand there for 5 minutes trying to find a latte among the smoothies and teas. Last week I just asked the barista to write me whatever she'd recommend since I couldn't figure it out myself. She laughed and said I was the third person that day to give up on the menu. Has anyone else told a business that their layout is impossible to read?

Figured it was just me but nope. Walked into a place in Denver last month where the menu was literally written in a spiral. Had to turn my head sideways to read half the drinks. Asked the cashier if they were serious and she goes "we get that a lot." Like okay cool thanks for not fixing it I guess.

Heh, I used to think people were just being picky about menus but then I hit a place in Austin where I had to read the whole thing through a magnifying glass stuck to the counter. Changed my mind real quick.
