[Electronics-Talk] Restaurant Tablets

[Kay Malmquist]

No, they are the same size as regular headphone jacks.  They are 3.5 MM. 
You can use whatever headphones you would normally use.  Applebee's Chili's 
and a few other places use them.

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell 
anybody it does. Light houses don't fire cannons to call attention to their 
shining - just shine.

I no it's not a lightning jack.  It's the smaller jack than the jack on a CD
player.  And I made a mistake with the size.  It's a 1/8th inch jack.  Not a
1/16th inch jack.
It's smaller than the ones that fit CD players.
The only device I've ever seen that used the smaller jack was micro
cassettes.

I did notice there were 2 additional jacks on the tablet.  One of which
looked like some kind of ac port.  The other looked like a microphone jack.
The 1/16th inch version.

What the headphone jack is depends on the tablet.  if it is an iPad it would
be lightning.

This situation would be covered by the ADA, because a restaurant is a public
place. It says they have to make an accommodation, but does not specify
what.  It could be reading you the menu, and taking your order.
