How do customers receive change or a receipt from a kiosk?
In all cases, the kiosk should provide a receipt indicating the amount of change due to the customer. Depending on the type of retailer, change can be issued in several ways (however, the option for change is not recommended with pay-for-time Internet kiosks): • Customers can take receipts to a change-issuing counter within the store. Depending on volume and size of the store, this may be a normal sales check-out counter or a location dedicated to providing change for receipts. • Customers can take receipts to a central change-back machine to obtain change from their transactions. • Customers can take receipts to a product pick-up area and obtain change while picking up the product. • In some environments, change can be given to the customer when the product is delivered. Take, for example, quick-serve restaurant applications. • A receipt with credit can be issued for future use at any of the networked kiosks. • Where it is possible to have prices rounded-off to an even dollar or half
