DHES

Back from a trip to my local supermarket, and I noticed a new feature on the dockets. Some items had a $ before the name, then down the bottom it said '$ indicates items on sale' and 'By purchasing $ items, you saved: $xx.xx'

could you do this in dhpos?

Almost anything is possible. The question is if it is worth the code space.

Dale,

How much code space are we talking? It would be a nifty addition, and customers like seeing the total saved on a transaction. Infact the company I work for requires that the cashiers read off the amount saved at the end of a transacton to the customer. Goes something like this...."Thanks for stopping in today Mr/Mrs Smith, you saved $X.xx with your card today." True, we use the loyality card, and their last name is displayed on the cashier's side....doesn't take much to figure out if they're a Mr or Mrs.....though sometimes it gets touchy. But that's not where I was going with this. I do think it would be a nice addition, if we can afford the space.
