One of my good friends is legally blind. He can actually do computer work but he has to stick his nose up to the screen before he can see anything. Uses a big magnifying glass to read too.Out of curiosity, how does a blind person know how much to pay in the first place? Don't they have to rely on a cashier or some such to tell them?
As for this question, the legally blind person would have to have someone with him. He couldn't drive to the store on his own in the first place.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

I confess I hadn't even noticed them until I read the wiki link.
Now that I look at them in RL i have to say

So I guess the question is - Why does the US hate blind people?"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

Yea, there is no reason not to do what Canada does. We should use the same system too. It'd facilitate cross border commerce.

I heard some people claim that they do wear a bit under "heavy use" but I can't say I've noticed.
Bills don't really have a high life expectancy anyway.Comment
