I think we should be able find a way to work around the issue. If
the system has other benefits that make the POS change worthwhile.
e.g.: might just charge fuel X.X gallons as a single unit at a total
cost.<br>

<div>(I know it is April 1 but this is not an April Fool's
prank.) I have been working to set up Square Register and have
gone through almost all of the necessary setup. In many ways,
I like it much better than QuickBooks POS and I was planning
to implement it at Docks In. I have been testing sales using
small amounts of money and that all worked fine, but yesterday
I was caught off guard by what may be an important issue. It
seems that Square sells things only in unit quantities - you
can't sell a fraction of an item. This makes it difficult to
sell 14.7 gallons of gas. We can easily sell in units of 1/10
of a gallon, 147 tenth gallons instead of 14.7 gallons, but
this means the price per gallon would always be multiples of a
dime (18 cents per tenth gallon would be $1.80 per gallon, 19
cents per tenth gallon would be $1.90 per gallon, etc. and you
can't make a price with fractions of a penny). Another option,
probably better, would be to sell the whole gallons at the
desired price per gallon and enter any tenths as a separate
item. Square says they are working on it, lots of businesses
want to hook up a scale or sell in fractions of a pound, but
for today a fraction of a unit is not a feature. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I need some feedback - do you consider this to be a
dealbreaker? QuickBooks POS is still fully functional.
Rounding the price per gallon up or down a penny or two would
not be a big deal, and we don't have so many fuel sales that
entering two line items would be a huge hassle, but either way
is less than optimal. Please let me know your thoughts.</div>
