The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In retail and sales, cashiers often waste time searching for product details in POS systems like Lightspeed or digging through company email for policy updates. Handling complaints means recalling procedures from memory or waiting for manager approval, all while customers grow impatient. These manual tasks add stress and slow down the checkout process for frontline staff.
