The president of that organization who spoke against this stupid field trip better watch out . . . sounds like hate speech! I'm still trying to figure out the Braille markings at the drive-up window at our bank. What am I missing?

That's the way I feel about the handicapped parking at the Sonic Drive-ins.

It was even worse when I joked about it to one of the servers as she delivered food out to my car, and she said quite seriously, "Well! handicapped people might want to come here too!".

While it seems ridiculous, there is a very good reason for the braille markings at the bank drive-up window...read on...

This is a true story:
A bank put braille markings at its ATMs, inside counters, etc., but naturally, like any prudent business, they decided to save the expense of adding braille markings to the drive-up window. I mean, what's the point? Well, the point is this. They were sued for discrimination or violating some law regarding disabilities, and they LOST the case! They even lost on appeal. This happened 5 or 10 years ago...can't remember where but it was some place like The People's Republic of Santa Monica, San Francisco, Cambridge, Bezerkley, or some other such place.
