Kathy, you are absolutely right on this one. I agree with you entirely on this one.

I started doing online banking just over a year ago to pay my bills, make deposits, etc. I could add payees, make payments, delete payees all very easily.

Fifth Third Bank wanted to make it more user-friendly to the sighted. I even called the bank expressing my concerns as to how this might affect people who are blind and using screen-reading software.

Sure enough, It did make it very difficult to do my banking. I placed many calls to the bank, people were going to contact me, but I heard nothing.

My story ends somewhat happily, but not completely happy. I used a different web browser. I can do my banking, but it isn't easy. These websites should be left alone, or, better yet, have a link on the site that would allow you to do business as you always have without disrupting other people.

Subject: [CnD] Peapod's checkout process is ruined for blind people




I was really REALLY upset when I discovered I could no longer enter on what used to be a 'delivery slot' link. There isn't even a check box to check by whatever time is wanted; it just says 'select', but it's not a link that can be entered on, or there isn't a box that could be check by the word 'select'. Why did something that worked have to be changed? Please implement one of my suggestions to fix this. I'm totally blind and using a screen reader; I had always valued that Peapod was as accessible as it, now I have to say, __USED to be. It's all very good that a customer service rep completed the checkout process for me this time, but I might want to shop when there isn't somebody to do this for me; checking out independently is something I should be able to do, like I used to be able to. Did you even run this past any blind testers who would be using screen readers?


I'd please appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. I'm informing other people who have used your service and/or who would be interested in knowing about this.
