    Those “POS” terminals can’t be hacked, worked fine for 40 years, and paying a guy to maintain them is far cheaper than a modern system anyone can hack and will get bricked with a software update.

      oh sorry. Point of Sale, not Piece of Shit.

      I’m pretty sure they can be hacked, i’m just not sure anyone would think it was worth it.

      i don’t know what their maintenance fees are, but the enrollment fees at square are cheaper than what i charge for fucking around with [old programming language].

      the difference is my clients’ system is custom to them. i just don’t know why they haven’t switched.
