Just got off the phone with a customer that called-in to report, “We’re down — we can’t ring-up any sales!!!” Their issue? The NumLock key was off on their keyboard. 🙂 NumLock off = can’t type numbers using the numbers/keypad on the right = can’t type-in dollar amounts, item numbers, etc.
We get that phone call a few times per week.

It’s something that seems so simple and minor, but if stops a business from functioning, why not make your consignment software better?
