Dollar General to Add Tactile Point of Sale Devices to All Stores Over the Next
15 Months
Now this is the best news I've heard in a long time. Wonder how many other
stores will follow this example.
Dollar General, a national discount retailer with more than 8,000 stores in 35
states, announced On Dec. 10, 2008 that it will be installing tactile point of
sale devices in all its stores over the next 15 months, so that customers who
are blind and visually impaired can independently enter their PIN when using a
point of sale device. The announcement is the result of an agreement the company
negotiated with the American Council of the Blind, the American Foundation for
the Blind, and a blind Dollar General customer from Texas. The settlement was
reached without litigation using Structured Negotiations and was negotiated by
Linda Dardarian and Lainey Feingold. Direct links to the agreement and the
press release:

Dollar General is the seventh national company to engage in Structured
Negotiations about the
issue of tactile point of sale devices with ACB and AFB, and with the CCB when
the retailer does business in California. A list of all POS agreements, as well
as all thirty two agreements signed using Structured negotiations is available
