Berkeley Center for Independent Living and Wal-Mart have reached an agreement that represents the culmination of a three-year endeavor by Wal-Mart to develop a card reader payment device mount that provides even greater access for its customers with mobility disabilities. As part of the agreement, Wal-Mart will install the new card reader mounts at checkstands located at the front of its California stores. The new mounts will be attached to the checkstand, and the card reader payment devices will sit in a sleeve and will be removable from the sleeve so that a wheelchair user can process the purchase transaction more easily from a lowered height. The card readers will be secured to the checkstand by a cord that extends and retracts and that will protect against data theft. In addition, Wal-Mart sales clerks will offer assistance to those shoppers with disabilities who need help removing the card reader payment device from the sleeve or replacing the device after the transaction is processed. Wal-Mart will roll out the new mounts at its California stores beginning Spring 2017, and will install them at all stores in California by Summer 2019. Checkstands with the new mount will be marked with signage near the lane number.
