We used to maintain those at my last job, they are still used in big grocery chains for inventory purposes

God I wish I used this for inventory/ordering purposes instead of a shitty samsung tablet with a dodgy half baked web app

A few years ago the grocery I worked for got rid of their inventory scan guns that ran on Windows CE and used TinyTERM. They were rugged as shit and it was impossible to lose your progress if you took the scanner into a WiFi dead zone somewhere in the bowels of the stockroom. Then at some point they switched to these shitty Android-based ones where everything is done on a web browser. You needed to be extra cautious to make sure it was actually communicating with the WiFi and remote server, or else whatever you're scanning would not get counted/ordered.

dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer
