Welcome To The 20th Century…

What started out to be a surprise 40th wedding anniversary get-to-gether with our family back in July turned into a great time with family and especially grabbing what my mother calls her ‘Monster’ by the horns. Mom and dad decided to go with the ‘POS – Point Of Sale’ system for their store and Bob and I could not have been happier for them. Mom purchased the whole kit-n-caboodle and Bobby and I dedicated our time in July to help my parents. We worked on their anniversary up until it was time to leave for dinner. They closed their store on Saturday and we continued to work.

Genius At Work

Bobby got all the software installed and we began to take inventory of the store establishing barcodes for the items.

Training Class

We labeled and began to knock mom’s monster down bit by bit. We got so much accomplished but by Monday evening we were there till midnight working – actually Bobby was the one working on what seemed to be a huge problem. We knew mom’s computer was 4 years old but we were told her computer would be able to handle the ‘POS’ but with all the problems Bobby encountered and dealing with the technicians, we were told she needed a new computer.

Store

Bobby and I came back to TX the next morning feeling a bit disheartened in the sense that mom’s new equipment would not be able to function with her old computer. Mom kept encouraged and continued to enter her items during our absence but we promised her that we would not leave her hangin’ and would return when our commitments were over, and that we did. Bobby and I returned once again to help mom with her awesome new computer and boy did this trip prove to be a great success. Mom already has over 1,200 items bar-coded and should wrap up the rest of her items soon. Bobby’s ‘THE MAN’, the one we all say many many thanks to for all of his hard work – ‘Job Well Done Bobby!’ Can I just say Bobby would bend over backwards for my family providing his knowledge and skills in any way he can. I appreciate that more than he will ever know, mom can call him day or night and he is always ready to lend a helping hand. She is all set up with her new computer ready to tackle all her sales. Her set-up is sweet and her scanner works like a charm, so the next time you make a visit to Historic Downtown to visit her, be prepared to witness a store up and running greeting the 20th Century the way it should be.

Sleek Final Product
