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
