[Electronics-Talk] Restaurant Tablets

[Pamela Dominguez]

Okay well, then, they will have to stand there and read me the menu, just 
like restaurants that don't have braille menus.  Pam.

Pam ever-since the beginning of the pandemic they stopped handing out the
brailled menus.  They still have them.  But who knows when they are going to
resume handing them out.
Everyone's being cautious.

Wow!  Last time I went to Appleby's, I was able to get a braille menu.  I
guess that's how long ago it was.  Pam.

The last time I ate at Applyby's before the pandemic, which was well
over a year ago, the waitress didn't know what I was talking about when
I asked her whether the electronic tablet at the table was accessible to
blind customers.  Instead, she said that she would be happy to read off
the list of selections on the menu, which I guess would be considered a
reasonable accomodation to comply with the ADA. Also, they still had
printed menus for anyone who did not feel comfortable using a tablet.
But even if the tablets at Appleby's had earphone jacks that
accomoedated a standard 3.5 mm plug, how would you turn on the built-in
screen reader to hear the menu? I'm not even sure whether these tablets
are standard, off-the-shelf IPads or Android-based tablets or tablets
specially designed to the restaurant's specifications that only serve as
electronic menus and may not even have a built-in screen reader in the
first place.
