I don't mean any offence to the blind community but how do they use eftpos machines? I've seen some ATM's have braille on them but I've never actually seen any eftpos machines with braille on them. They exactly tell the person serving them they account details but then again they could also have someone that they trust help them use it.

Toilet doors have braille to identify the sexes -- but how do they know where the toilets or urinals are when they get inside?

That's a good point. You wouldn't want them to feel around there. Would they use their identification cane to work out where the toilet or urnial is?
