Wipe Out Order Inaccuracy
3/20/2007
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 85,000 grocery stores in the United States. Of the 85,000 stores, 80% are small, employing fewer than 50 workers.

Systems, however, can relieve retailers of this inherent workforce burden. Used with permission from Integrated Solutions for Retailers magazine
