‘Cashless’ Vending Machines in Japan Can Create Inaccessibility [Podcast Episode]

Barrier Free Japan is not a luddite, the only reason Barrier Free Japan does not own an Apple Watch is because Barrier Free Japan cannot afford one, but a lot of the can vending machines near their work place have been turned into ‘cashless’ machines, so basically, Barrier Free Japan cannot buy a soft drink!

KYOTO – Barrier Free Japan is not a luddite, the only reason Barrier Free Japan does not own an Apple Watch is because Barrier Free Japan cannot afford one, but a lot of the can vending machines near their work place have been turned into ‘cashless’ machines, so basically, Barrier Free Japan cannot buy a soft drink! 

Barrier Free Japan’s body spasms because of their physical disability so sometimes they cannot hold a ‘smart device’ or IC card still long enough to ‘scan’. No more drinks for Barrier Free Japan!
