[Faith-talk] prayers needed for big decisions

[Rob Kaiser]

A little more information on restaurants:

Sure, it would be great if all major restaurants had Braille menus, but, I
don't think that will ever happen. What I do, if I haven't been @ a
restaurant before & I'm going to be eating there, I call them to see if they
have a menu in Braille. If they don't, I will ask if they have a web site.
If they do, & if it is accessible, I will go on their site & find the menu.
That way, I can save a waitrus time & also save time for the people I'm
with. Of course, Braille would be great, but what Debby said about Braille
being very expensive is unfortunately true.

Having things in braille is ideal and a wonderful thought, but braille is
expensive.  I try to pick what I ask for in braille.  
If I lived in an apartment, I'd ask the management to email me any notices
that are sent out.  You know like, The water will be off from 8:00 am to
12:00 pm on March 1 because of repairs being done" or stuff like that.  In
order to be compliant with the ADA, braille is not always necessary.  I'm a
huge braille proponent, but I don't need a braille notice about simple
repairs being done, for example.  And actually if the manager verbally lets
you know something, that is being compliant with the ADA.  If they don't
give you information at all, then that's not right, and they are not being
compliant.  Restaurants, for instance, don't have to always provide braille
menus.  But they would need to allow a waitress the time to read the menu if
it is not available in an accessible format.  I have been an ADA trainer at
times, so 
I'm not just speaking out of my hat.    Debby
