When Receipt Printers Go Rogue
Your printer decides to print receipts in hieroglyphics. Customers might think they're getting an ancient scroll.

The Case of the Missing Transactions

Lesson: Daily reconciliations are your best friend. They ensure all transactions have a proper address.
Checkout Line Comedy Gold
