MASTER TERMINAL (noun) ... the terminal that handles updates - holds off-line data if Internet goes down and handles Web-Link orders ... also know for EXCESSIVE delays and pauses which if you are the person who uses this terminal - drives you crazy ....
CARQUEST solution -- instead of checking every minute for web-link orders - set to 5 minutes ...( done in PC SETUP>>SET BKGRD PROCESS ) ...oh what a wonderful option ... telling our best customers -- sure - do that order thru the internet - we will wait 5 minutes before we print it ...
OUR Solution -- shot the stupid bastards that wrote this code - then hire programers that can write efficient code that doesn't pause & freeze the master terminal.
Until then -we will have to BUY another terminal for each store and set it up as a MASTER -- ensuring that it is always the FIRST one up and the last one down ... to handle all the items that a master must do ...
