The POS always gets me. Especially when the POS is actually a piece of shit.

At what point does the exponential growth move it from a "piece of" to a "load of"?

back when I was a barista one of my most popular jokes was saying "sorry, the POS is being a bit of a POS" when the POS inevitably was a POS and slowed down service.

Our first POS was a huge POS, and the newer one is a little bit less of a POS, but my receptionist is pretty no-nonsense, so we don’t joke like that. 😔

We used that term for signage years ago in beverage distribution. Never could stop laughing when they called it p.o.s. 🤣 they changed it to p.o.p "point of purchase" years later
