What is the point of the braille at the drive up atm machines? Only in America. (Or not?)

QUOTE(Joanne @ Sep 28 2009, 04:36 PM)  WTF?! QUOTE This may sound like one of those absurd points of principle, but ATM manufacturers say a fair number of blind people do take cabs to drive-up ATMs, and nobody wants to ask a total stranger to help with a financial transaction. I get it but the driver can just look at it! The blind person will never know the driver saw it, and has no proof that he didnt, so why not give the driver the pin number? QUOTE Your question does point to a more serious problem, which other readers have also raised: how the hell is a blind person supposed to use any kind of ATM? Whether the keypad numbers are identified with braille or not, there isn't any braille translation of the on-screen instructions, without which the machine is useless. Again WTF?!!! Thats true. Unless they memorize every ATM in the city and knows in advance which buttons to hit when. I mean I could go on, but the whole article will have me here all day. |
