It also became popular at many retailer companies and they then went on without me and kinda destroyed more companies than you would believe.

Sucked. Didn't even KNOW I WAS CEO.

Like TELL ME WHAT'S GOING TO BE MORE MEMORABLE!
A monotonous doning on and on about the importance and integrity of legal tender/currency, and what to do if the register is malfunctioning, OR the weird lady saying something that's NOT offensive but considered taboo to help you remember key acronyms of a register job.

Working in a cash office is also a big deal so like. Not having to reteach an employee during a rush is extremely important.
Anyways my CEO days weren't a POS company.

I literally read it as point of sales but audibly call it a piece of shit so people remember it better, particularly through training.

Training is always so dull for employees so when I could work and train when it wasn't video or computer based training I liked spicing up training in ways that my employees would NEVER forget very specific(but boring) things. Even though I unfortunately forgot a bulk of my employees faces and names let alone which job I was training them in.
