Aren't those credit card readers kinda scary? I recently had to close a credit card account because someone had managed to get enough of my information to almost send some money to himself by Western Union. In talking to the card security people, they mentioned that buying gas was usually the first thing one of the scammers will do to see if the card he has will work....no face-to-face required. Then, and this is something everyone should be aware of, I happened to ask what my credit limit was. I was thinking about how much damage could potentially be done if someone, somehow, got into my account past the various checks they do. Turns out that account had a $14,000 limit!!! My gosh!!! And my wife has a card with an even higher limit!!! Turns out many cards automatically bump up your limit if you pay on time. Great. But I don't need to be able to buy a new car with my credit card. That's why I belong to a credit union.
BTW, I've been reading this thread and drinking my coffee, and I just now woke up to the fact that POS software isn't the Piece Of Shi# software I was thinking ya'll meant. Though it sounds as if that might also be a viable description.
