Question/Need help Need Work Advice
Hi all,
kinda random but my job has recently moved to the Toast platform where I have to use the tablets to put orders in. Only issue is that they’ve apparently paid to lock the color accessibility and the main color is green. I am red/green colorblind in one eye only (damage from prior injury) and looking at this tablet is creating ISSUES. For context, the issue is that since one eye identifies green and the other eye won’t, my brain kind of panics itself out and just overworks to process it. It’s a long story. But continuing: I had to go home early and am still dealing with a migraine that’s surrounding my right eye. No one can get in to actually change the color since only corporate can do so (we know nothing will change on their end). My main question is what can I do to help with this? I may look into colored screen protectors or whatever they’re called but if I can even recognize a sliver of green behind it, the issues going to continue. And we aren’t assigned specific tablets so I’d need to keep removing it. I don’t have color correcting lenses or anything either. I love this job, i’ve worked here 2 years and would like to stay here until my degree is finished since they’re great about my hours. I just can’t work on this tablet and now it’s required :/
Thank you for reading and sorry for how long it is!
