On The Fly Discounting!

You know what I think is petty cool?  The fact that you can use discounts and coupons on the fly in SP-1.  

While on vacation recently my family and I were pretty shocked to still into POS systems that can’t do this. 

Multiple times we ran into systems that required the counter person to put the discount first or it would not calculate properly.  In one instance I was able to talk to the manager about it.  She had to come over and void our ticket and then have the counter person re-ring the order in.  She told me this was a pretty common problem because people don’t always present the discount up front. 

I guess I always take for granted that allowing a discount or coupon to he applied at any time during the order is a simple thing.
