That was so dumb!

Tell me, can any of “davenport, ottoman, credenza, vitrine”, be used as a point of sale device, like what Amazon is using their “tablet” to do?

Last time I looked, when I make a purchase at a store, there is a cash machine/POS device there to record the transaction, and nowhere around the cashier did I see a credenza or an ottoman or a davenport or a vitrine to assist the cashier in recording the transaction.

The “Fire” is being used as a portable POS device, with lock-in to the Amazon store for services and products. The only thing the “Fire” can’t do is to serve up change or cash or “money back”.

Except that what you wrote, the first time, was "table." A table, you see, is a piece of furniture like the other items listed.

It was a joke riffing on your typo. Lighten up, Frances.
