[bct] Eating Out

I have to confess that the eating out thing usually has me on the run.  I 
usually turn down eating engagements as it is just too much of an ordeal to go 
through it.

I avoid 'self service' hot buffet places where you line up for hot food and 
point out to the person behind the counter what you want then struggle through 
the crowds to pay and find a seat.  We get a lot of free meals in conference 
facilities here during workshops that I run but I always opt out f the food and 
go get a sandwich instead.

It is more of a problem for me I think because I still have some vision and 
most people judge me as sighted even though in most dining situations de to the 
low lighting, I am really blind.

I cannot imagine waitresses in this country cutting my meat for me!  I wouldn't 
ask.  

I only really eat out if I am with somebody who knows me well or if I have no 
choice.

So I guess I am not being an inspiration here.
