Hi Mark,

Thanks for your suggestions. Calling one store from the other might be a bit cumbersome. I know that customers wouldn't mind for the most part, but it would be a bit awkward.

I'll look into your other suggestion though.

Thanks!

Alex


>I don't know of anything right off. If possible, you might consider putting the CC machine at the highest demand store then when someone pays with a CC at the other store, have the employee call the store with the CC machine and have them run the card manually thru the machine.

>>Please let me know if you have any ideas.

>>Thank you so much!!!!
