@jilleduffy I mean, I have used a Point of Sale system and I would certainly describe it as a POS.

@jilleduffy I literally read it as point of sales but audibly call it a piece of shit so people remember it better, particularly through training. Training is always so dull for employees so when I could work and train when it wasn't video or computer based training I liked spicing up training in ways that my employees would NEVER forget very specific(but boring) things. Even though I unfortunately forgot a bulk of my employees faces and names let alone which job I was training them in.

@jilleduffy Like TELL ME WHAT'S GOING TO BE MORE MEMORABLE! A monotonous droning on and on about the importance and integrity of legal tender/currency, and what to do if the register is malfunctioning, OR the weird lady saying something that's NOT offensive but considered taboo to help you remember key acronyms of a register job. Working in a cash office is also a big deal so like. Not having to reteach an employee during a rush is extremely important. Anyways my CEO days weren't a POS company.
