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

[Charlotte]

I think for me it's more of an independence issue than i is a security 
issue. It's just one more myriad thing that we have to rely on someone 
else to do for us. Don't we have enough of those already? I don't live 
24/7 with sighted people around me and I try to be as independent as I 
can be. It's just disappinting not to see our policymakers not care 
about people with disabilities, blind or otherwise.
