Staples Agrees to Web Access / Tactile Point of Sale Devices

May 21, 2009

Major advocacy groups for the visually impaired applaud Staples' new initiatives designed to improve service to its customers with visual impairments. Staples will be improving its payment service terminals at the in-store point-of-sale with tactile keypads to protect the privacy and security of shoppers with visual impairments. The company will also make improvements to Staples.com that will benefit customers with visual impairments and other disabilities. Today's announcement is the result of collaboration between Staples and major blindness organizations including the Bay State Council of the Blind (Massachusetts), the American Foundation for the Blind, the American Council of the Blind, and the California Council of the Blind. These organizations praised Staples' initiative and urged other retailers to follow the company's example.
