I just published a new piece on Access Interrupted and I’m incredibly proud of this one. It’s about how I work as a blind host at Applebee’s, and the tactile system I use to run the front of house. After my original seating chart disappeared, a teacher at Michigan’s Training Center for the Blind 3D printed a brand new tactile map for me with Braille table numbers and pegs for my jump rings. I call it the Dragon’s Command Board . This piece is about accessibility, teamwork, and the creative systems blind people build to do our jobs well. And yes… sometimes it even involves listening for chairs sliding back to know a table might be leaving. If you’ve ever wondered what restaurant work is like from a blind perspective, I think you’ll enjoy this one.
