I do as well, it really makes you think about how much you spend. I'd never use 
contactless - ever!!!!

I love cash, this is the only way where I can be completely anonymous when 
paying for a service or goods.
Besides, I spend less if I pay with cash, it gives me a better feeling of how 
many funds I've got available.

If she could do it but she won't, nobody can then blame the shopkeeper 
for doing their best to enable.

Hi Jackie,

Again, a range of solutions for a range of people, and nobody should 
assume that their own preferred solution will be just as easy for 
everyone else.
Ask yourselves: Could my nan do it?

Hi Simon

So what happens when you come across someone with dexterity issues, 
or a person who has never used, or feels uncomfortable with, Smart devices.
What
then?  It's ok to say what you might prefer, but what about other people?
Sure you can't please everyone all the time, but if we've all got to 
go into shops and restaurants armed with a Smartphone that allows us 
to download an app that then lets us pay for our goods or food, that 
is going to exempt a lot of people for a whole bunch of reasons that 
have nothing to do with being blind or partially sighted.

Kind regards,

Hi Jackie,

What an old-fashioned notion, cash. <Big Smile>.

Seriously, I can't wait to get rid of cash, it's the least secure 
method of carrying money.

I carry less and less of it about nowadays, I love Android Pay.

All the best

Steve

Iain,

That is correct, the speech is silenced, audible clicks are still 
there and the screen curtain provides privacy.

That turns speech off but leaves VoiceOver still running. The screen 
Curtain is a function of VoiceOver.

Hi,

Don't know how easy this would be, sometimes I turn voice over off 
with a double triple tap, this keeps screen curtain on and you can 
press the buttons if you listen for the "clicks" working from the 
bottom up you can go up the center; 0 8 5 2 and locate the side

Not practical

For example, on older touch screen devices, you could use ordinary 
headphones.
On more recent ones, they have a bespoke connector

This is an issue I came across some time ago in a local take out.  I 
told them the problems, and gave them advice.  we came to an 
arrangement about payment with an app the shop used, they refunded 
me the standing charge for the app if I used that to place order, as 
the app
was accessible.

Subject: [access-uk] Paying for goods via Touchscreens in shops

Hello all,



First, please excuse the cross-posting. I apologise in advance, 
especially to those who may receive this message three times, once 
per list. However, I and a number of others feel this is an 
important enough
issue to warrant it.





It has come to the attention of members of another list, that some 
restaurants and shops are no longer offering chip and PIN machines 
when the time comes to pay the bill. Instead, people are being 
presented with an IPad belonging to the service provider 
organisation, and are expected to type their PIN in on a silent, flat 
touchscreen.
In one case reported, the customer felt they had no alternative but 
to divulge their PIN number to a member of staff. I've seen this in 
my mobile phone service provider outlet in town. Has anyone here 
ever been embarrassed or frustrated when given an inaccessible piece 
of technology through which to make their payments? The people on 
the other
list (New College Worcester Former Students'
Association) would like to get an idea of the scale of this problem, 
and suggestions as to how it could be resolved, so that they can 
bring the issue into the light and campaign for change. Yes, I know 
that IPads are accessible, but you wouldn't want to turn voiceover 
on, on someone else's IPad in an open plan restaurant, and have it 
announce your personal details to the world at large as you type. At 
my Phone Supplier shop, they suggested turning speech on and playing 
my input back through the shop's Public Address system!



Best,

Clive
