    The shops registers should be camouflaged to look like old fashioned ones. But I think in today's age of quick scanners and less training time, it would be impractical to train CM's to learn the "manual" way. Plus it would be alot slower to ring people through. They would then need FP's for the shops. :p

    It would be kinda neat, though if the registers rang like old ones when items are scanned. Unique theming like that would be idea.
