[NFBMO] Post Office Question

Are the mailboxes labeled with raised print? Do you know the print alphabet? 
If not, you might want to learn it so you can read raised print signs and 
other information. If you do know it, then try to read the raised print on 
the mailboxes if it's there.

Hi,

Do you have the label maker with the dial that spins or a metal slate with 
the tape slots?
Make something short and stick it on your box or get lost and burn time 
waiting for the office.

If they won't do it I would ask if there is in reason you couldn't put a 
braille label on yours. At least then you could look for the one that had 
braille on it and wouldn't be wasting your time trying to open the wrong 
box.
