Good luck! Im off to work!
Yea thats true, I just completly forgot about the CVV number.

Thanks, have a good one.

I used to see a lot of machines that printed the reciepts together so the customer signed both.

It was busy that day and dont really know what happened, I just know I ended up with the wrong copy.

The carbon copy ones? The problem with those is they are pretty expensive compare to the thermal paper printers. The used the same about of power, but the paper is cheaper and there is no ink to change.

Couldnt agree more. CCI goes crack!!!!! every time, some others crack, crack, pop, nothing, crack...lol

Thats why the GSG-5 (MP5 clone) requires HV only. It wont even cycle the action properly without good HV ammo.Need 1200FPS and up. I tried it with some sub sonic rounds, I wanted to see if it would work. It did not, just like the manufacturer said...lol

Good morning everyone! Looks like I might be home sick today. Claire is doing well and I think I got run down taking care of her and here I am feeling like the flu or something. Great. I'll try to head to work here in a minute, but we'll see. The walk to my shop to get my truck is about 100', and I can tell pretty quick if thats gonna work or not..lol

I told him, he goes "oh well I placed that order an hr ago and I cant come pick it, I thought it was a different location, bye" and hung up.

i dunno if you own the company or not chris... but like the others said with the cvc#'s thatd be something to look into...

but also id talk to the company if you dont own it about adding a restock fee for canceled orders like that... dunno what it is you do.. but if its anything like steel supply or something like that where customers can order special cut lengths you could definitely get away with adding policy for restocking orders... ones out here wont cut the steels till the customers come to pick it up for just that reason...

Some people just shouldn't talk...ever.

Although, sometimes when I am watching football, I wonder if any of these guys have any real "street" experience...because sometimes it mimicks an episode of COPS.

they do to me.... depends on the sprinkles... some are flavored some are not... ones that arent just like like powdered sugar but compacted to its solid form... but theyre the consitancy of cake icing...

now the "flavored" ones you got rainbow ones (dont go by color for this) which are like an explosion of flavors in your mouth... then ya got the halloween colored chocolate flavored ones... chocolate choloate ones.. ect ect...
