If they weren't going to allow their stuff to be accessible for those who are blind, in my view, it doesn't make sense.

They’d still get worn down with use and would need to eventually be replaced, and yeah, while it probably would be a bit more expensive to put braille or tactile markings on the panels in such a way as to make them part of the panels themselves, it’d be worth it in the longrun. This person clearly doesn’t give a shit. Just wow. Don’t think I’m gonna be considering the idea of purchasing a product from this company with an attitude like that. Sorry not sorry.

Hmm, no, does not do what it says.

Her sales tactic was pretty aggressive.

But for newer products, just having it completely built-into each model manufactured, just as I believe they do the print, would be ideal.

I further assume the reason why they're there was because if they were on top of the controls directly the pressure of the stickers would cause the machine to think you were holding the button down? Either way I feel like that in and of itself is an accessibility problem, not to mention the fact that you still need to be able to see in order to know where they are supposed to go. Just really poorly thought through the levels.

That's very odd... I wonder if the spacing is because the stickers were incorrectly applied (assuming they were see-through and could have been atop the print labels)...

It also has other stuff kind of things like larger knobs or buttons that are easier to press if you have motor impairments.

Either way the control was a good inch above where the end of the sticker was. Maybe I'm exaggerating but you know, there was space.

Admittedly it was tough to get a word out because she wouldn't shut the fuck up.

That woman sounded hilarious! You should have told her that Samsung builds it right into their units. And what was that about making accessibel to wheelchair folk? How would a sticker help them?

That's what I do for a touch-screen start button on my air-fryer.

As you may also have observed, the controls are touch screen, so not only can you not install them yourself but you can't even install them where the actual control would be, lest they activate the control.

Not impressed.
