I was at my local Winners store this weekend. It's like Gourdmans or TJ Maxx in the US. For years they had had these tiny monochrome screens and tractor printers for their POS system. It was horribly antequated and was in need of a refresh.
So, I notice they all finally have nice new terminals with touch screens and keyboards at each cachier. But all of them have a printed out paper taped onto the keyboard saying "Remember, don't touch the keyboard". When I ask the cashier why they can't touch the keyboard and can only use the touch screen, she simply tells me that "the system for the whole store will freeze and need to be rebooted".
Nice. Quite an upgrade.
I suspect that answer is 1 of 3 things:
a) The cashier was being sarcastic
b) It's one of the corporate training schemes
c) Someone is fucking with them
If' it's (c) then hahahahahaha! Awesome!
