They have braille on the keys at the drive up ATM?

True story.

I discovered that over a decade ago and thought it was hilarious.  It's part of the Disabilities Act.

You Euros have no appreciation for the American way of life.  We like our cars.  Our SUVs.  Our Rascal™ scooters to get our enormous asses to the bank and then WalMart to buy more...

I'm not crying.  It's allergy season, here in the desert.

I wonder what the braille signs say at the ATM (or all of the other random spots they show up. As if the blind have some kind of spider-sense telling them where all these random signs are. "Wait, Jimmy. I think there's a sign over here!).

I'd personally guess that it's because these touchpads are all supposed to look the same, so people can tell if they are being skimmed, and that it just costs more to order separate pads without braille bumps, than just to have the same pads on every ATM?

... but that would be the boring explanation.

To up for the boring, I will give you the extra retarded explanation, and that is, that obviously, this is meant if you go through a drive thru ATM, and you have a blind passenger that wants to withdraw, amirite? :lol:

I hate to be the boring stupid person with blind friends, but yeah, it's because blind people use ATMs, and it's cheaper to just make all the keypads blind-friendly than make some with braille and some without. And it has happened, upon an occasion, where the braille ATM drive-through has come in handy. On the way to the strip club, if you can believe it.

That's right, because you better be getting some gas money.

Please forgive my uproarious laughter.

You took a blind dude to a strip club?   :? Did you have him braille-read Candy's nipples?
