Why is there braille on drive-thru ATM's?

Who in the hell is that for?


    




LeAnne
It's to help give my blind brother in the back seat a feeling of a little more independence.

Well, actually there is a reason that the drive thru ATM’s have Braille on them. Automatic Teller Machines are mass produced so they only make one mold for all ATM’s. That means the ones that you walk up to and the ones that you have to drive up to. I mean think about it this way; if you need to stamp your signature on a lot of papers do you buy one stamp with your first name and another stamp with your last name? No, that takes to much time and spends money that does not need to be spent. It is the same idea with the Automatic Teller Machine companies, they buy one stamp that happens to have Braille on it and use it for all ATM’s. It is cost efficient and time efficient.

Another reason is from a legal standpoint. It cuts out the blind’s equal rights to use that Automatic Teller Machine, just because it is in a drive thru. If they really wanted to they could walk up to the ATM in a drive thru and use it. Whether they happen to know the way to it, they have a Seeing Eye Animal or they are legally blind but not totally bind, it cuts away their right to use that ATM if there were not Braille printed on it. So to keep from being sued the ATM companies’ produce all ATM’s with Braille, and the banks put an ATM with Braille on it in their drive thru.

So people like you will keep asking this question even though it has been asked & answered in this forum probably hundreds if not thousands of times.

Have you ever been handed any of those little business cards that have the question "How do you keep an idiot occupied for 20 minutes?" and the answer of "Flip the card over."? If you have seen it, how long did it take before you quit turning the card over?
