No, I saw the KNFB reader and liked a lot but. I was just wondering if it was going to be just a portable reader without the phone! I gather it was at one time but, they discontinued the line and you can only purchease it on the mobile device. Heather For answers to frequently asked

Hi Lloyd, Trust me, once you pull out the discrimination card, they fold like drunk gamblers at a coke party. Smiles. Just remember that if you get denied, speak to a supervisor, and force the issue. If the supervisor still doesn't budge, then speak to a manager, and make them understand
