[nfb-talk] Something I've noticed!

Tue Jul 15 22:27:41 UTC 2014

Mike, there have been some places I have tried where the grub came way to
soon.  Of course, I have made it a purpose to never eat at those places
again.  I also have found that many places now have the menus online.  This
is quite nice in my opinion.

Except during times when many blind people are visiting a restaurant at the
same time as, for example, during a convention, I see precious little reason
for Braille menus though both NFB and ACB tend to favor them. After all, if
one knows about the burgers, the steaks, the Mexican fare, the desserts and
beers, what else need one know? And the longer one reads a menu, the longer
it is before one gets one's grub! (grin)

Hi Misty!
How are you?
It's great to hear from you again!
we met on the NABS list.
Now, to your message, I never learned raised print by touch, so that's not
good.
I think we should teach both Braille and Raised print.
Braille menus are scarce!
I was happy to see that Cracker Barrel, Olive Garden, and Macaroni Grill
have them, but they're the only ones that do!
My friend in Idaho told me that their commission for the blind produces
Braille menus, so we should encourage other states to do the same!
Thanks
