[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] getting your drinks at fastfood places

[Annette Carr]

I've resorted to asking for a manager for assistance with those tablets at
the table where you have to pay your bill.

McDonald's has a similar screen that allows you to build your own burger.
The staff have been great about helping me with it, but I would prefer to do
it myself. Also, Applebee's has a touch screen tablet at each table that
allows you to make menu selections, play games, and to pay your bill by
swiping your card. It is also inaccessible, and now you have to use it to
pay your bill. Again, the wait staff have been helpful, but I do not like
telling the waiter how much I plan to tip.

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

These are the machines that are completely flat screen, and have pages and
pages of drinks and/or flavors to make your own combinations.

They are very cool but I haven not been able to find a way for blind peple
to access them independently. I am pretty pissed that I can't get up and get
my own drink anymore without having a sighted person or an employee waste
time by helping me scroll through pages of flavors just to get a drink!

Anyone have any ideas about this or anything we could do to get these
machines accessible?

I hope this isn't off topic
