Rogue Idea

I can’t even begin to say how much my stomach has been hurting all morning. I decided to take a break from studying for a bit and found this barcode verification equipment online. Actually when I worked at the bookstore we had one of those barcode printers and they would print their own barcodes to cover the real ones. That way it covers the ISBN and people can’t write them down to order them online or go somewhere else to get the book. Pretty tricky, except they only used their barcodes on the used books and didn’t put them on the new ones. The other bookstore down the street put them on all of them though. They have a whole bunch of stuff on that site for barcode verification and it says 12 dollars for 2 day delivery so that’s pretty good cause I don’t even know how much it would normally cost to ship those machines. I think at the restaurant they wanted to get some sort of system in so they could just scan items on sheet and not have to type in the amounts but we couldn’t get our cash register to do it.

I can get a barcode verifier from this site and try to hook it up with the cash register but I don’t know what kind of software or what I’d need in the end and how much it would cost. They have all different brands there available too so it’s not just a brand thing, its a store that offers a lot of stuff. I would probably get one of those symbol handheld scanners. Or we could just get one of those touchscreen monitors and hook it up to the register I think that’d be even easier and better. Most of the different items had a data brochure available to download so I printed one off for my parents later to see if they’re interested in the idea at all.
