Blind Shopping
I mean no disrespect.
I saw a blind man coming out of the grocery store today by himself with a couple of bags of food. I wondered how he knew what to buy. I don't recall any Braille on the products I purchase or Braille in the aisles.
Maybe someone helped him. Someone who didn't come with him. Or at least leave with him. I wonder if it was an employee who helped him.
Or maybe he has just learned how to cope. Maybe he's not letting life slow him down.
But I still wonder how a blind man shops.
I mean no disrespect.
