    "Bonus time" vs. Cryptopay count up

    I would say the take rate is pretty low, well below 10%. It is easy to tell when pulling the bills out of the acceptors in the bay because very few $5 bill hardly ever a $10. Those that have read the signs do use the feature often and are regulars. $5 bill is 10% bonus and a $10 is 20% more time.

    "Bonus time" vs. Cryptopay count up

    I have had bonus time for cash for over 10 years for those using a $5 or $10 bill in cash and I also accept credit cards. I would not worry about using bonus time with a credit card. I have never had a customer ask about it.

    High Pressure Hose Emergency Repair Methods?

    I use 2 of these to repair a hose that has a leak somewhere in the middle of a long hose. Cut the leaking area out with a mini grinder with cutoff wheel. Thread the large fitting onto the outside of the hose then insert the end with the tapered nipple into the hose and you use a couple of...

    How to secure lower door on vacuum?

    I added hasps on my last 8 vacuums. The reason I don't leave them unlocked is that the dirt baggers are too lazy to hook the latches back up and I have to send refunds out to the regular customers.

    Will this work?

    I am not sure if it is a problem with switches now just being so cheap that the switch is easily damaged by cycling the switch. It does go through a relay already.

    "Canned Response" needed!!!

    I have another problem that has come up. A car wash 10 miles away came and took pictures of my signs with the number to call for service. Problem is they did not change my phone number to theirs so their irate customers end up calling me. My first line is what location are you at? When they tell...

    I have been having problems with the switch on my shampoo vac. It is a basic 3 position on-off-on switch rated for 20 amps using a single pole.
