A New York blind man named Marcos Calcano is suing the restaurant Hooters. Now as many know, Hooters is a restaurant where their big draw is their female waitstaff who wear low cut shirts and short shorts while they serve you...so why would a blind man go to Hooters in the first place? Rumor has it they serve great wings...so the waitstaff can't be the only draw...so what's the real reason Marcos Calcano is suing Hooters? The gift cards for Hooters do not contain Braille. That's the real reason Marcos is suing not only Hooters but Domino's as well. He wants to purchase some gift cards and due to his blindness, cannot tell how much each card is worth and feels that the cards lacking Braille is unfair to those with disabilities.
Hooters is not the only restaurant chain or store that does not contain Braille on their gift cards...there are a lot of other major stores that do not either like Target, Walgreens, and others. It's actually a rarity that a company does have Braille on their gift cards. The only one that comes to mind is Starbucks. They do offer Braille options for their gift cards.
Do you think Marcos Calcano has a shot at winning this lawsuit?
