The Blind are suing Redbox

[71chevellejohn]

But visually impaired individuals are increasingly troubled by the rise of touch-screen technology. Many banks have employed screen-reading ATMs, but Redbox, according to the lawsuit, "has chosen to rely on an exclusively visual interface."

The response from Redbox should be "Well excuse the fuck out of us for catering to customers that can actually use our services. Now quit wasting our time."

What's next, braille on drive thru atm machines? Ohhh wait... LOL

LMAO, and wtf.

Don't retailers have the right to refuse service ? The Chevron by my house excerised that right on me, I'm not sueing ?

Not with the American with Disabilities act, bet they loose...

I just can't see this happening tho, Redbox should turn a blind eye to the lawsuit.

I kinda figured there was something like that in place.

There's a big difference between totally blind and simply legally blind. I work with a guy that has to hold a book about 1 inch and can't see anything over at 50 yards, but if the screen is big enough he can watch TV and movies just fine.

Can you explain? I just figured so a blind person can still use it without telling the driver their pin number and such.

It's more for manufacturing. There is no need to make an entirely different product line and configuration to remove Braille because it has no negative effect on the machine. It would cost a lot of mobey to make different parts for a non Braille machine

That's like people with no legs getting pissed at Nike because the laces aren't aesthetically pleasing

[line-em-up]

...

And people wonder why the cost of things are up so much with stupid shit like this going on. Well, to all of the blind people people reading this, FUCK YOU! Oh, wait, you can't read this, so sit down and STFU!

[War Machine]

Didn't see that coming

[ThreeFingerPete]

I'll be watching for the resolution on this one.

[Cmarsh]

Everyone should keep an eye on this thread, to see how it turns out.

[War Machine]

Hope they don't turn a blind eye to the problem

It's the illegally blind that you have to watch out for.
