Advocacy Brews – Taking on Starbucks' App Flaws

In this episode of iCantCU, I explain some problems with another app. Starbucks, I'm talking to you. How is a blind or visually impaired person supposed to place an order for a store that is now a mobile order pick-up-only location if the app isn't accessible? On the bright side, I now have an app to use as a demonstration when we meet our Representatives and US Senators during the NFB's Washington Seminar.  I also discuss what is going on with Ziggy. He's had an issue since late September and recently had more tests. It may be food allergies. The Golden Menace has become a money pit, but we'll do whatever we can to improve our pooch.  Show notes at https://www.iCantCU.com/254  Links Mentioned Stanley 64oz Insulated Stainless Steel Mug: https://amzn.to/3TKkfUW  Logitech 920 Webcam: https://amzn.to/3S2YoHd  The light on my wishlist: https://amzn.to/3vGDKnq  Rishi Chai Tea that Eliz loves: https://amzn.to/48E2LOB  Learn More About Descript The transcript from this episode is done using Descript.
