In All Fairness

Yesterday, I gave a heads up regarding business options that are done online. To be fair, it is time to do the same for the bricks and mortar stores.

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your stance, commerce in the USA has shifted to those small plastic cards called debit, credit or gift cards. Each person has their own collection or has managed to stay away from them. If you have stayed away from the credit cards, you are one of the few so here is a resounding good job to you.

Additionally, self-checkout lines are starting to pop up with regularity at a number of businesses. My hubby and I continually debate as to whether it is quicker to do the self-checkout or the normal checkout lanes with the POS scanners.

POS scanners and POS products in general stand for Point of Sale. If your mind was in the wrong place, I can assure you they do not mean that. However, there may be times when you conclude that the equipment is a pain in the rear.

That is when companies that offer refurbished point of sale equipment come into play. Machines are machines. They require maintenance and replacement from time to time. You need to keep a business running smoothly so the dollars keep flowing.

Now, I wonder if they make POS products for those running a garage sale.

Anah
