Rantwoman has further been at work in email
RantWoman will now discuss why representation in ALL phases of product and process design matters.
See this vending machine, in the not too distant past installed at RantWoman's building. For a time during the #Pandemic, RantWoman's building was infested (Nope, NOT a nice word) with people whose every action betrayed both why they needed supportive housing and why they should have trouble maintaining it.

| Why am I posting this photo of spectacular design inaccessibility? Wrong answers only |
RantWoman is speaking of, presumably, druggies who broke into vending machines and laundry facilities, stole coins, stole the contents of the snack food machine and were generally a disgrace.
The inhabitants who so clearly were deficient in neighbor skills have, CROSS FINGERS, all successfully been ejected. The vending machine has returned, in card reader only mode to a building full of people of many different heights, people who use wheelchairs, and of course blind people expected always to ask their neighbors for help anyway.
So, what is wrong with this picture. Hint: the blue dot on the upper right corner of the machine indicates the card reader.
Double hint: RantWoman is pretty tall. The card reader is located above RantWoman's head.
To be fair, there is a contact number somewhere on the machine for the vending machine company. Multiple neighbors have called about the accessibility issue.
Congratulations, dear vendor, you have now also earned a place on RantWoman's blog and free advice: PLEASE bring us something that people in wheelchairs who want to buy junk, er, snack food can use independently.
Just to beat on the point:
 |
| The phone number, etc |
 |
| One more round of Accepts Credit Cards Only |
Further belated data point: the soda machine: RantWoman can buy beverages at nose level, which is still way too high for a lot of RantWoman's neighbors.
 |
| Nope. not accessible either |
