Just like with any new technology there often is a period where accessibility suffers, but at the same time some of the same technology may have the capacity to be made accessible. One example is bank machines as in ATM terminals. At least here in Canada they are by now pretty much all accessible as long as you have a headset with you that you can plug in. I guess one twist of the new iPhone 7 and models going forward is that I'll have to make sure I have a 3.5mm headset in my backpack or that I definitely have the 3.5mm adapter with me since of course I doubt ATM's will be equipped with a Lightning port any time soon. So, Brent, for the time being you'll have to snatch somebody to get that soda or, of course you could simply bring your own which is much cheaper *smile*.

The hard part now literally is finding someone around at lunch to help, since my lunch time is at a time not many people take, since other shifts seem to be what is preferred around there. I heard this idea is eventually coming to restaurants. I wonder how we can be able to even order or get things in the future if it starts to take off? ----- Original Message ----- From: Sieghard Weitzel<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2016 2:32 PM Subject: RE: New Sams Club app It is not that different from self checkout lanes, if somebody really wanted to steel smaller items that way they can also do so, all they would have to do is hold a smaller item behind a larger one when they scan at the self checkout and then put it back in the cart. I think all of these systems count on most people being honest, but I am equally sure that these big companies also factor in a percentage of theft/disception. On the other hand they are basically making the shoppers perform the work a casheer usually would perform so they are saving money and I doubt people steel more this way then any other way. If somebody wants to steel they do it regardless and either get away with it or not. If they get caught they typically get a slap on the wrist which in most cases won't prevent them from doing it again on the next day or the next week.

What is preventing someone to scan a few items, and slip smaller items into their cart with out scanning? They don't have to see a casheer to verify all items have been paid for? I don't think the person at the door looks at all the items in the cart and what was paid for that closely do they? This just feels like an open door to someone getting away without paying for everything if they can get away with it. Anyways, not bashing, just some thoughts that came to mind. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert Doc Wright Sent: Friday, September 30, 2016 11:51 PM To: viphone@googlegroups. com Subject: New Sams Club app For Sams Club members there is a new app called Scanb to go. It will allow you to scan your items as you place them in your cart. It will keep a running total and when you are done you can pay with your phone and show the receipt on your phone to the person at the door, thus by-passing the cashier. It is accessible but unfortunately knowing where they place the bar codes isn't. *** Colorado Blind Bowling Association http://www.coblindbowling.org We cand really use your help!
