Blind people pay with 20's instead of 1's?! Options

[chook]

You know offering money scanners would probably be better. Counterfeit Braille would be easy enough to do. I agree with Spivey that everyone wants to be treated well, and is a good thing to aim at. Truth is that everything is compromise and that is why we have different classrooms for smart and dumb kids. We are not created equal, but everyone should be treated with justice.

They're redesigning our money every other year anyway. What's the big deal about including braille or other tactile features in the next design?

punch yourself in the dick

what about blind people with hooks for hands? OMG they're gonna get ripped off by crooked clerks! it must be the money's design that's at fault, not the crooked clerk or anything!!!

They're actually at an advantage because they can claw the clerks eyes out when they get ripped off. OMG I don't have a hook hand now I'm the begrieved minority. I'm suing someone

As much as money is handled, can it take the punishment and still be legible? Honestly, I don't think it can. Same applies to any possible tactile solutions you could implement. Just use the card and suck it up.

catering to the minority by inconvieniencing the majority.

How is changing the money "inconveniencing" you? If anything it would be a way for blind people to be more self-sufficient and to figure it out themselves instead of always having to ask someone to help them distinguish between certain items.

if someone is swapping money, who's to stop them from swapping the products too?

What type of product swapping are we talking about? Giving me the off-brand cookies instead of the Oreos? How does that benefit me if I'm the switcher - switching money means I could monetarily gain from it, switching the product doesn't benefit me except for possible amusement?

if you're the owner of the store? swapping a 20GB ipod for an 80GB?

I just find it funny that when reading this story, people immediately start talking about how the money should be changed. like it's the fault of the money design that this occured, when this really occured because it's human nature to steal from someone when the chance presents itself. I'm sure there are many other ways to cheat a blind person other than short changing them. I just think there's a point when you become too accomodating.

Sure, use a credit card....but what happens when some retail merchant overcharges the credit card and the blind/visually impaired/rectally challenged/whatever bullshit PC term is now en vogue signs for it?

Eliminate credit cards?
Completely revamp the receipt printing system?

Where does the idiocy end?

Oh wait. It doesn't.

Speaking of pussification, I just brought my roommates laptop in to my room. Seems the wifi we're leaching doesn't work as well here as it does in the living room

Who should I sue?

My roommate, whose laptop I borrowed without asking?
Dell, the company who made his laptop?
My neighbor whom I'm stealing wifi from?
The architect who designed the house I live at?
The construction workers who built the house?
Time Warner, our ISP?
God?
Al Gore, who invented the internet?
Brianna Banks, the skank I'm trying to jack off to on the internet?

Need some help here people. Cause god knows, this isn't my fault.

[impala454]

definitely the neighbor... you should knock on his door and tell them to move the AP closer to your apartment

[The Fanatic]

I'm glad i'm not the only one that leeches internet.

Because our dollar is already weak. Do we really need to put more money into more features on it? I think the scanner thing is the best idea.

And Impala, there are a lot of blind people in the world. There aren't very many blind people with hook hands. That's the difference.
