Reminds me of a flyer I saw years ago: "Can't read? Call us at ---"

Thats not braille.. That's some kinda Code Language LOL besides the 6 dots don't = staff or for.. not sure where they fit... every other part does seem to translate so it is nonfunctional braille I guess and broken badly.. Scissors would unbreak it though..

No no no. You are supposed to ask the staff for help deciphering the braile!

Actually, yes, that is proper braille. A full cell stands for for.

Another broken aspect is that it is a bike shop. Maybe I am wrong, but do blind people ride bikes? If so, where.

Reminds me of a sign I saw at a local post office: "No animals allowed, seeing eye dogs exluded." I get the point, but who is supposed to be reading that sign -- the sightless person, or the dog?

Well that makes about as much sense as the braile that you find on drive-up ATM machines.

It reminds me of handicapped people driving cars: What handicap can you drive a car with?

No kidding! I never understood why drive up ATMs have Braille. Even if the car was being driven by someone else, the screen is still illegible.

_@_v - you can have cardio-pulmonary disabilities that qualify you for parking in a handicapped zone. my gram had emphysema and was able to drive but needed to be able to park as close to a building as she could.

"It reminds me of handicapped people driving cars: What handicap can you drive a car with?"

An armless co-worker of mine drove quite well with his feet, and a special accelerator that was outfitted with a suicide knob steering disk.

I'm not sure if this is a genuine question, since there are a lot of lesser handicaps you can drive with (emphysema, weak heart, etc.)

No, but they may pick them up at repair shops for their kids.

Why not, they drive cars...

Braille on drive through ATMs is NOT broken. all ATM machines are made the same.
