It’s sad that we still have this kind of petty crime. Often not much is taken but the damage to the business and staff can be worse.

After i read this i was at a start-up launch for a new internet business that was demonstrating an ipad cash register. I think it worked on Androids and also laptops!

The start up tillify.com were demonstrating their card swipe and digital receipt services. It was super cool. It connected to a cash drawer but seeing how easily customers could pay using a digital wallet on their iphone made me realize that the use of cash is on its way out. Digital receipts and mobile wallets will take over. Which at the time i thought was sad. Seeing this news made me realize at least it will put an end to petty crime like this.

The company was tillify.com. I hope retailers wake up and accept this kind of technology.
