I don't think there is any legal right to be allowed to feel the
Products, but it does make good business sense for shops To be Flexible
and allow us to examine before we make a choice.
I think most shops will allow it, but it will depend on what the
Product is.
Regards, Derek

Maybe I am wrong but I have been under the impression that a blind person
going in to a store has the right to feel murchandise which a sighted person
can see. Certainly the John Lewis Stores will open a product and let me
feel it, no matter what the product and they usually have demo models in
their electrical department.
