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

[Kendra Schafer]

Hi all! 
I do it the low tech way. I do all of my order with the wait staff. Yes, we do need to raise came to make that yucky equipment accessible. We still need to do that with ATM's too since a lot of them are still not accessable. Come on!!! It's 2015, not 1800.
