[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] getting yourdrinks at fastfoodplaces

[Pamela Dominguez]

Okay, sorry about that.  Yes, I think mind may have the braille menu.  I 
know they had one, but I'm not sure if they had one last time I was there.

The Applebee's I patronize has brailled menus.  And surprisingly, they are
up-to-date, too.
And, I don't mean to offend anyone, but Appleby's has a bee at the end of
the name.  Not by.

>> Hey guys. I don't know how many of you have seen these new touch-screen

>> These are the machines that are completely flat screen, and have pages

>>
>> They are very cool but I haven not been able to find a way for blind

>>
>> Anyone have any ideas about this or anything we could do to get these
>> machines accessible?
>>
>> I hope this isn't off topic
