Prices in marker, taped over the last prices.
The menu written by hand — on card, on a whiteboard, on the glass — and updated by writing over it.
The story Inference · this-project
Inference — a hand-lettered board is the tell of a shop that changes what it sells faster than it can order signage: the egg rolls, the boba, the burrito and the kolache arrive on card taped beneath the printed donut list. This project reads boards this way; it is not a cited finding.
The printed panel above usually carries what the shop has always sold, and the card below carries what is keeping it open.
Today Inference · this-project
The board is where a directory should look first for what a shop actually does now.
