Hey everyone,

Black Friday POS deals?

I'm running a grocery store in Chicago, IL and looking for advice. We currently have been looking at different options. Any recommendations or experiences to share?

Thanks in advance!

We had the same issue. What worked for us was restarting the terminal

The produce lookup is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.
