Blind people not welcome?

“Crime prevention program in effect: For the safety of our customers and staff, please remove your hat, hood and dark glasses before entering this building. Your cooperation is appreciated.” There is neither a braille nor an audio version of this notice anywhere. So, in other words, “blind people and Muslim women are not welcome at our bank.” Is such the attitude of our society’s institutions? Or are they just so insensitive that they didn’t know blind people exist?
