    CC"Tip Line"?

    Whale & others, It is great when we reach the point where the customer argues with us to who gets to tip each other ---- that is best dynamic of all. Having said ---- that I have great recent memory of a great lookeeen gal tracking me down in front of a bunch of laundry customers & actually in...

    Some wizard knows why this happens.

    Hmmm----- that was minus 4 Fahrenheit --- I wonder if there is a broad range of below freezing temperatures where this phenomenon will occur?

    Trash vs. vomit

    Laundromat owners --- depending on their location --- can definitely relate ---especially the part about the restrooms! MJ

    Coupons in SS

    Generic??? I wonder if the same safeguards are in place in terms of a specific code in the print on each operator's specific coupons that would make them as safe & non transferable as coded tokens? MJ

    Best bill changer

    Earl, Probably the most straightforward way would be to check with Standard about their KeepTrac software & kit. I am not sure of all the current details but I know they have a dedicated port that connects to a computer serial or usb to serial via a small serial cable. Someone told me they...

    Stolen Pop Machine caught on tape at Wash

    GoBucks, In our area with sometimes sustained temperatures of below minus 20 degrees for several weeks with a wicked minus 50 wind chill --- I wonder how the Wyndstar would work for energy efficiency etc. The breakaway for the Wyndstar definitely would be a plus though. I suppose cutting with...

    Best bill changer

    For us we like the ability to connect a computer to it for spot check auditing & even the ability to do a remote soft reset. Also the tiny memory card update if the Feds change a bill design is nice. Standard came through for us on those issues with their 600EFs ---- I am not familiar with the...

    Ultimate heater hard starting

    Sparkey, With our boilers we use a proper range Dwyer Magnehelic tester for seeing the precise water column inches of the gas & air pressures. A manometer will also work but is more awkward. The Magnehelic device is less than a $100 I think --- I know it has been worthwhile for us. I am not...

    Stolen Pop Machine caught on tape at Wash

    GoBucks, This might be a dumb question but did he do any damage to the closed Windstar door? We have excruciating memories of our polycarbonate doors being run into! MJ

    Air Rifle--WOW

    Since our Bismarck-Mandan community is on the direct route of the Lewis & Clark trail there were a lot of presentations & exhibits in this area during its 200th anniversary. I don't believe light was shed on the Italian Air Rifle like shown on the video --- so it is good to have videos like...

    Stolen Pop Machine caught on tape at Wash

    GoBuckeyes, I can relate. I remember back in the early 70s before be fastened the coin boxes as good & before alarm systems how some devil hooked onto their vehicle with a coin box & jerked everything including snapping 12 gauge wires that were secured in the box. At that time that was the...

    Vendor Glass Replacement Advice Needed

    Follow up suggestions? It would be nice if this type of arrangement of 1/16" material for a glass front vendor was tested & then the info shared. If nothing else it seems it could prevent the horrific cleanup of the spiral area of thousands of tiny pieces of glass. That is saying that even...

    Vendor Glass Replacement Advice Needed

    Uncle Sam, Bill & others, It seems like we should get the going rate for this type of work & that is what I thought we could get a better handle on ---- in case someone potentially is extremely cynical about our specific abilities to do the work in house rather than contracted out??? MJ

    Vendor Glass Replacement Advice Needed

    Manhour cost restitution suggestion anyone? Thanks Uncle Sam & others for the responses, What we did is got the factory 1" glass kit 3 day select. It came a day early via UPS yesterday at noon. This morning we had the local plastics shop CNC 42"x26-5/8" 2 sheets of clear material for better...

    Big Leo, I hope Earl doesn't feel his post is being hijacked. :o http://www.softstack.com/freesmtp.html I just checked this out but it will be awhile before I can set it up & test it etc. It says to use the Localhost address instead of the ISP POP address it seems. If it is faster than an...

    Computers...

    other backup approaches? Big Leo, We have a no longer used license of Windows Server 2003 so we are leaning towards that vs a NAS. We also are leaning towards a SonicWALL TZ 200 for a router because I remember our Internet Kiosk once got hacked into in a totally unexplained way once --- which...

    Vendor Glass Replacement Advice Needed

    Is the Lexan polycarbonate kit in addition to the triple pane glass or is it lieu of --- or another kit in itself that would accomplish the same insulation as the triple pane glass except much more break resistant. Like Bill P said it definitely will eventually not be as clear as glass...

    Vendor Glass Replacement Advice Needed

    Well it happened to our glass front MegaVendor from KleenRite ---- zero malicious vandalism for over 10 years at our place ----- was lullabying us I guess. We got a bit careless on some sensors & the day time monitoring etc. About 8:15 this Sunday morning our 52 selection with pop & juice...

    Remote suvaillence monitoing

    The Xtralogic also has the sound like I have posted before. It is nice but it would be even nicer if there was a way to program the Droid X to automatically reconnect if it loses its connection. Then it would have even more value as an alarm notifier because obviously we can't be looking at...
