The lights went out in Georgia!
So last night I did an emergency run to Dem Cakes. The very same one we FFN's visit often. About 15 minutes after we were seated the worst storm I have been in a long time started. It rained so hard it was leaking from the A/C vents in the ceiling.
Just after our food arrived there was a huge burst of lightening and the lights flickered a few times and then went out completely. It stayed dark for about 3-4 minutes before coming back on. The silly girls and children screamed...I just said I am glad we got our food before the power went out. Tough weather last night |

Re: The lights went out in Georgia!
I was more concerned that with no power my credit card wouldn't work and I'd be washing dishes by hand. I don't have the pull the 404's do.

Re: The lights went out in Georgia!
I was in Chick-Fil-A one time and the computers were down. The kids behind the counter had no idea what anything cost (just look at the menu on the wall, thanks) and only one kid (the poindexter looking one) knew how to calculate tax and add it to the price. The lady in front of me turned and rolled her eyes and I thought "this is the future of our country..."

Re: The lights went out in Georgia!
And I'm sure Vito had already taught them how to calculate not just tax, but also INTEREST. hahaha

Re: The lights went out in Georgia!
Vito's kid wants to use your shower....
It's scary to think how bad it would be without technology. Speaking english apparently isn't even a prerequisite for working point of sale now, I can just imagine the fun if they had to do more than swipe a bar code. I'm just old enough to barely remember "cashier" being a skilled position. A good grocier cashier could really have those fingers flying on an old manual cash register....almost a rhythm to it. Grab, read, punch, ring, bag....next...and go thru a full week's worth of groceries in not much more time than they do with bar codes today. |

Re: The lights went out in Georgia!
I remember it too, HP. Using those little label makers to stick the price tag on each item before stocking the shelves, and the cashier who could ring it all up without a scanner... often without even looking at the price because they already knew it off the top of their head.

I've seen demos, pretty impressive. Price on technology just has to drop enough to make it cheaper than what it costs to pay a bunch of cashiers and you'll start seeing them. |
