Hi kevin
>derek, who said anything about costs.
Why do you think Braille isn't generally on offer?
It's down to costs.
Why do you think not so many books get produced in Braille?
It's down to costs.

Sorry Kevin but that's not quite true.
If there was a policy not to give assistance, the stores wouldn't
need as many staff!
So what i am saying is, a store could cut its operating costs
by insisting that the blind and disabled go and use internet shopping.
But they offer a choice, come to our store, or use internet.
We are then treated same as any sighted customer, we are given
same choice as sighted customers.
>nor do tesco, asda, sainsburys etc provide their catalogues in
Braille!
Nor do they offer their catalogue s in print, but Lakeland does!

Derek
