Hi,
So you shopped in the store; I like this better because you can chat with a 
sales rep then.
Did they let you touch the appliances? Sometimes they are in boxes which 
doesn't help us as we cannot see the  pictures. Glad they were nice to you.

Despite the setback, I am glad to say that Best Buy, Home Depot, and Sears
are all very accessible when shopping for home appliances.
I ended up going with Sears in that when I visited the stores in addition to
looking up the appliances online, the Sears staff treated me with courtesy
as a client and not react otherwise because I am a blind person.
