We do have some things that the customer can look up and ring out without
intervention. Usually fruit and veg where the little sticker is likely to
come off. Maybe there is a way to get it to let us key a barcode that I
just don't know about. They do appear to run Windows as I have seen some
of them booting up, or stuck on a "screen of death." ;)
I worked retail back in the late 1980s. Would have been nice to be able to
bring up a game of some sort but my long shifts were usually busy ones.
