[nabs-l] Fw: [Blindtlk] beware the inaccessible soda machines!

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
Why don't we push to get Soda machines accessible labeling along with the 
currency change? This touch screen doesn't have to be a step back as there 
could be a button that can act like voiceover and give us directions, but If 
all soda machine's will have to be replaced with the different currency 
coming into play, there may as well be accessibility put into them. Does 
anyone know where to talk to about getting this done?
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

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
