It is very important that all of us raise our voices if we have difficulties. Many are not even aware but telling them maybe makes a change for others. Even if its just a mail afterwards from home. This helps dealing wirh the frustration and often you receive very kind answers back.

[@SeeingBlind]

ABSOLUTELY! This is so correct and well said.

Making everything accessible is a human right and should be controlled and trained as having a clean kitchen in restaurants. Unfortunatly mist people just start thinking about it if they start to suffer from our issues when getting old themself.

[@SeeingBlind]

So Very TRUE!!! Thanks for commenting this!!!

Thanks, Cindy and Carrie. This video, along with the one you did on Carrie's channel, were both very interesting and informative. and also fun to watch. Both of you have a great on-camera style. Cindy, in the other video with Carrie, you mentioned some sort of toothpaste squeezer thing. If you bought it online, would you have a link to it? That definitely sounds like something a legally blind individual like me could use.

I spent a ton of time with some Coke mixet machine in Schlotzky's with my Seeing AI app and then discovering there's a QR code. Trying to scan the QR code, and it just is no longer working because the machine I guess is aged out from being brand new just before lockdown, and now it like no longer supported. Just before lockdown they had a plain old fountain drink machine that anyone could work, even from a chair. This machine was all touch screen, smooth, but no audio. It took me a whole hour to figure out how to get a cold Dr Pepper out of it. Then it ran out of that syrup canister, or bag.

The one thing I would suggest to anybody planning a holiday meal that includes visually impaired people is to not use clear glass plates if you can possibly avoid it. I know it seems really elegant, but it makes a meal way more difficult than it has to be. At least it does for me. I would be interested in the opinions of other low-vision individuals. I also don't love clear plastic cutlery (I have trouble finding it if I put it down), but that's less of a problem. I can usually find it by feeling around. Sorry if this soulds like a lot of whining and complaining. I'm just a 72-year-old grumpy old man, I guess. :-)

No, not at all! These are things that are very important to help those in our lives become more aware. Everyone has preferences. And everyone has accommodations that make their experiences easier. Making these no only improves our experiences when gathering with those we love. Restaurants should have, other options to serve when this is the case. Thank you for your feedback! I am hoping to do a follow up video highlighting this point.
