    Cash acceptance in bays?

    Pretty much had the same issue and didn't think the D&S box was secure enough to ad the acceptor, so I went with a seperate Etowah Box and acceptor and later added the CC acceptor to that box.

    Cash acceptance in bays?

    That was one of the reasons I went with a seperate Bill acceptor box. Figured that if it was attacked the regular boz would still be operable. Also, it would be a seperate item I could secure. So far no issues with the Etowah box.

    Foam Brush Change Over

    Kind of what I have been thinking. If I have to manualy play with the tips anyway, and without auto chamngeover I swap tips and a hose which really takes no extra time or effort. I am not really sure what the auto changeover saves me. Do you think there is much loss of the glycol in the AF...

    POS system?

    One idea might be to not do it now but prepare for an easy instal later by running conduit etc. As volume increases and funds allow you can upgrade to whatever, RFID, gates etc. As for some of the benefits I don't know if they are accurate. Increase productivity, save time? I hear most...

    POS system?

    POS systems give you lots of options. Whether they are worth it or not will vary. I have a DRB which can be a full blown POS and Datatrax which is bare bones. - No cash register. At the end of the day it gives you am printout as to how much $ you should have. Gets the job done. If you want all...

And then there is that thing about which way the toilet paper goes on the holder. I...

    See; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPBxcHLP3mg&list=UU2oDMe1Aklko_tcNnsQJJaA&index=3 As I said, I wanted to judge the payback so I only did half the bays. It was a month or 2 when I figured the payback was short and did the rest.

    Cryptopay Mounting

    I went with the Etowah seperate box and acceptor. About $600 a piece. It was more secure than adding to the existing box and the seperate box is more noticeable. Tried it in half the bays. After a month I did the rest of the bays. Nice collecting bills instead of just quarters plus nice to...

    pump oil help

    Geez, and I thought I was just a slug! (Or perhaps my SS just wasn't as busy as some.) Thanks Randy, Ghetto and Wash Me. We never change the oil. I was envious of a guy with hour meters on all pumps and a chart showing when oil was changed r rebuilds done. Took over the SS 6 years ago. Had...
