Re: Scanners

[ralph fuerbringer <rof@xxxxxxx>]

the 1200 mentioned below is the one i bought. it got best reviews for
anything below $500. i pd 260. It came with a lot of stuff and instructions.
yours may be on the cd still but should be printed out. a food emp today i
bought $30 worth of stuff. when the clerk took my sc card, she was flirting
with another black one just like the token booth scene, it didnt register
and discounts whatsover. mgr said couldnt give senior citizen
discount(1.5000)but could give bc discount.  i told them to take it all
back. it took about twenty minutes and then i got the stuff all over again.
bill under 20.
