A Message from the General Manager (19-Nov-2009)New Cash RegistersKarma Members, we have recently purchased new SHARP cash registers and intend to have them up and running early in the new year. Our current registers, which we got in 1986, have served us well indeed. The new cash registers, however, have many time-saving features, the main one being barcode scanners. We look forward to both reduced wait times at check out and minimizing the time our staff spend using pricing guns – an outdated practice! An important additional feature is the powerful back-office software which will give us, for the first time, useful sales reports and inventory control tools. What this means for us is more consistent and accurate pricing, and fewer out of stocks. It is my hope that changing over to these new cash registers will not be too daunting for our member labour cashiers. We will try to keep a similar keyboard layout. Also, many steps of a normal transaction will be replaced by a single touch screen key. And with the addition of barcode scanners the new registers will likely be even easier to use. Cashiers, please look forward to quick retraining sessions in the coming weeks.
