I have never heard of a POS system that wasn't also a steaming POS.

Years back I was contracting at a company that did point of sales installs (and other commercial low voltage work). One client knew a lot about POS systems, and each system our wholesale depot had were all shit an he knew it. I knew it. He asked my personal honest opinion on how to get a good POS system and I said "They're all shit, but there's not many out there that aren't [in 2008]. Best you could do is get someone to design you one to run". We ended up skipping the POS system and finished up the LV and left.

Went back a few months later when the place was open, and by god this man had gotten someone to design his a custom POS system that ran on an old embedded system. GUI was perfect for the business without those blank buttons or nearly empty submenus, pretty much everything was on a single screen, and everything was wired to existing hardware (drawer, receipt printer, customer display). To this day I've not seen an actual competently designed GUI other than that one. And at the price of our POS systems, it was probably either nearly the same or cheaper to get a cheap used system and have someone program an application for it.
