New POS System Idea Backfires

nospam@example.com (Brandon Strickland) — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:56:35 -0700

Over the past few months we've been gathering up equipment to upgrade the store into a new Point Of Sale (POS) System. I figured it wouldn't be that bad and be great for business, keep track of what comes and goes easier etc... But, it seems as though it would be more trouble that it's worth. POS System's rely on barcodes in order to be useful to the system. There are many items in the store which cannot have barcodes and it appears these items would be too much trouble to pursue alternative methods of scanning them into the system when a customer is checking out. I've exhausted a lot of time and money into this venture and as it turns out, it was a bad idea from the start. Does anyone need some POS equipment?

Drawings will be on Mon and Thurs, $2.00 per ticket. Come try your luck to win $250,000 a year for 30 years or a lump sum payment of 4 million if you get all 6 numbers. Stop by and get details !!!!

Overhauling the site.

Within the next few days I will be undergoing a major overhaul on the site. Visually you may not see any difference, but I'm going for performance. This means going through every bit of coding that I did before when I built it and then cleaning it up. I'd like to also move the Albums area into the main page of the site. So if you are browsing around and notice it's lagging or shoots off an error. That's probably me playing. Please report any errors here. Thanks.

We have new Yo-Yo's in that are made by H & H. They are just like the White's yo-yo's except they have reflection on each side and tarred line on them. The feed back so far is they love them.

Just installed a Blog

Just installed a blog on the site, it's going to take time to tweak it to match. I've delt with other blog software before but this one looks pretty simple to use. The goal of the blog is so that any hunting, fishing, lottery etc... info that we need to post goes here as well as updates to various things.
