One of the facets emerging at the forefront of the digital age is a constant in your face delivery of the “snooze you lose” message.

The larger the number of employees can increase the potential for profit loss from both employee error and employee misappropriations (AKA theft.)

At least it would have been, before the POS age, that is.
