Hello, list.
I would like legal advice concerning inaccessible touch-screen credit
card terminals currently employed by my local supermarkets. I shop at
two stores in southern Oregon which use these devices; their only
gesture toward access is a telephone keypad with which to input a
PIN. In speaking with the legal representative for C&K Market, the
company which runs both these markets, he has told me that the ADA
does not, in fact, cover these, since they are not a federal business
and receive no federal money. Having no further option, I told him
that I would research the issue, the laws for the state of Oregon, if
any, concerning these touch-screen terminals and get back to him. Can
someone point me in the right direction, if there is one, as to how I
can get these touch-screens removed or supplemented with a credit card
terminal accessible to a totally blind person?
Thanks for any information you can provide. Have a great day! :)
