Subject: [Blindtlk] beware the inaccessible soda machines!

Hello All,
This evening, I was in a Burger King and saw something that I have never 
seen before. The traditional soda machine with separate buttons for each 
soda as well as the ice was replaced with a system that had one spout for 
all drinks and a touchscreen interface. The machine was completely 
inaccessible and I had to have sighted assistance to get my drink rather 
than simply asking which button corresponded to the soda that I wanted. I 
was upset to see this as I believe it is a considerable step back in 
mainstream accessibility. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered 
these machines and if so, are there any sort of accessible options?
Thanks,

Aleeha
