You can check out this website I found. \n\nhttp://www.posguys.com/retail-cash-register-system_39/\n\nIt has a good range of complete retail systems. You should be able to at least get a quote or compare prices.

I dislike the self-checkout for many reasons.\n\n1. It's too impersonal.\n2. Half the time I can't get my items to scan.\n3. Half the time, it doesn't register that I've put the item in the bag.\n4. It never wants to take my cash.\n5. It fusses at you if you buy an R-rated movie or alcohol.\n6. The people ahead of me in the self-checkout line are generally slow and stupid.\n7. Sometimes the change thing doesn't work properly.\n\nThat's why I always go to a real human being to check out!

7-11 stores are all company owned and operated.  You can not own one.  You might think the profit margin is good, however the markup on the types of items they sell is small.  They rely on volume and higher cost for convenience.  You would probably make more money being a management employee than gambling in this business.

i dont have references really but i work there i guess i could ask and get back to you... buuuut id say no. they have cameras out and they look for anything suspicious plus they have guards and stuff... theyd think you were waiting for a relative you are mad at to open the store so you could hurt them or something... they have lots of security measures, so i dont think it is a good idea... maybe if it was like black friday or something... when they open all early and have lots of sales....

Try sparkpeople.com -- it's free and easy.  You can follow their menus or choose your own foods.  You have to really track what you eat though, and be honest about it.

The staff at any PC World are among the worst I have ever experienced in any retail situation. They lie, have no interest or experience, are invariably poorly educated, and couldn't give a fu*ck as they get paid minimum wage. \n\nIf you were any good at anything, would you work at PC World? No, of course not, PC World employs numpty dross because that's all they can get.\n\nSimple Solution....Don't buy from PC World.

Southland Corporation does not train their employees to be safety conscious nor do they have measures in place to protect their employees. \n\nSouthland - 7-Eleven's parent company - requires all stores to have adequate camera (CCTV) coverage through the store, a time locking safe mechanism and a silent alarm button which rings directly to the police department. Don't let me forget a height measure sticker on the door so that you can measure how high the perpetrator was that robbed you. Also, if your coffee is good enough, you may even have a cop or two frequent the location for a steamy hot cup. \n\nAdditionally, when my friend visits or works at his locations, he is always packing a little something extra in the event there are issues. Store owners in California can possess (legally) a firearm on premesis when working.  \n\nI have a friend who actually owns three franchises in the Northern California area and we had this very same conversation within the last week.

24/7 seems to work.  You would be surprised if you checked the stats for agents such as WALMART in the USA, that because people work around the clock, they want to shop when they get off work.  I guess it really depends on what kind of store your talking about.  The downside is the higher cost of operation.  There has to be a demand for your products.  Check out an economics 101 book.
