dude, why do they put brail on bank machines at all.... have you ever seen an ATM with a brail output or verbal prompts... NO... so how the fuck are blind people supposed to know what they are supposed to do and when?

Blind ppl are much more smarter then we all think, they are prolly the fastest learners. They can learn combination of steps to operate from some one first, and then mimic the steps again.
Usually ATM machines do not behave erraticaly, so very much possible to be used by a blind person (though i don't know how many blind ppl actually uses the ATMachine practically)

A better answer is here

From:
http://journals.aol.com/jevanslink/...er/entries/1812



AND NOW FOR THE FUNNY VERSION

Dear Cecil:

The question of why they have braille on drive-up ATMs once showed up in the Internet Oracle a couple years back (you could probably search the Oracle archives for it), and the answer was something like: "Because the dog can't be expected to drive and use the ATM machine!" --Rishi Fish, via AOL

Dear Cecil:

That's right up there with: "Why don't blind people bungee jump? Because it scares the heck out of the dogs." --Seal TX, via AOL

Problem is that not all ATMs give the same instructions in the same order.

How dense do you want to sound? Good grief. Blind people are people who simply cannot see. So this could mean the blind guy living next door too you might be the smartest man you've ever met, or it may also mean he is the thickest. Which ever category he falls into, you can rest assure that his level of vision is a factor that has fuck all significance on this. But let me ask you this, if a blind person all of a sudden regains their sight, then does they're ability to 'learn fast' all of a sudden become impeded?

Being smart here wrt to the topic implies that a blind person can adapt to new surroundings faster then us guys. They are much smarter then what we think they are. They learn the new techniques faster to overcome their shortcomings.

I'll say a blind person has a better sense/feel of the things around then You and I. Atleast i can't walk properly in a room without lights turned on !!!
