Sighted people look at things to see them, but they just don't get that we are looking with our fingers. I ask them... So, didn't you look at the table to see what it looked like?
As for shopping in the dark, I have no qualms about asking sales people to open a package to let me see what is inside. I tell them that if it is what I want I will buy it, and if it isn't, then they have a package that is open which is what they would have if I bought it and had to bring it back. I also ask them, would you buy something that you didn't look at? ERERERERER...
