Competitive situations, cost cutting demands from restaurateurs and
playing games with quotes to customers have placed some restaurants in
a potentially bad situation. Warranties on point of sale hardware are
not what they were in recent years and to assume that they are places
your restaurant in a bad position.

A large number of point of sale dealers and Internet sites are passing
the full manufacturer’s warranty to the end user. In most cases this
means that you get a 3-year warranty on the entire system. You are
covered for parts and labor for 3 full years. About the only thing
that is not covered is abuse, lightning strikes and other “Acts of
God”.

It wasn’t that long ago that a point of sale system came with a
warranty that covered you for 90 days to at most a year. Different
companies played with these numbers, jockeying for position to gain
your favor. All the time, they were getting the 3-year warranty from
the manufacturer and only passing the 90 day to a year to you.

You keep using that acronym. I don't think it means what you think it
means. In the meantime, could you please stop spamming this newsgroup?

I have been very careful not to talk about specific product(s) so not
to anger or create the image of spam. I have noticed in recent posts
that you have been very agressive in pointing out people who are truly
pushing products to this group. I have tried very hard not to do
this.

If you don't want to offend, stop trying to sell restaurant point of
sale equipment in a food equipment (NOT *RESTAURANT* EQUIPMENT) news
group. Another words, if you must spam, spam somewhere else.

You people need to get your mind out of the gutter.

It is like you find a group that you think might welcome your input
and experience and you are greeted with contempt and harsh words. I
am finding just the opposite here.

Sadly it seems that this is a closed group that does not want new
thoughts or ideas. You have someone who truly wants to add to the
group and not offend and the results are just the opposite.

I certainly hope that you do not continue to treat new members as you
have treated me or your group will fall apart due to lack of new
ideas. But in the end, we all get what we earn through our efforts.

I truly feel sorry for having attempted to add to the group.

Congratulations. You have just run off another person who had
something to contribute about restaurant equipment.

You need a thick skin to be on Usenet. One person should not run you off if
you are sincere. Most of the people participating here are home cooking
enthusiasts, now commercial equipment users, but good information is always
welcome. .

I hesitated to jump on this spammer because my daughter works for an
industry leader in POS software for the food service industry. Once I
found out that her employers were as outraged as I about this kind of
post. I knew that I had to make an issue about it. If I had thought that
they approved, I would have taken it up with them, personally.

I missed the dog groomer, and the tennis shoe people are spamming
by automaton from Google Groups, so no real person is reading the
responses, and very many newsgroup readers killfile all Google Group
posts because of the spam level coming from there. It is often
easier to just ignore a single spam post. In fact I almost never
respond to them.

Now, as it happens, I am in the market for POS equipment and software.
I had even come across your website a few weeks ago doing various
searches. By persistently spamming a newsgroup you have just ensured
that I will not purchase from you.
