Restaurant Owners Use Zapper To Cook the Books

OK, this burns me up:

Mr. Ainsworth said the United States should at least take up a study of the problem. “The later you get into this game, the more likely criminals have moved on to the next technology,” he said. “This is my tax money. It makes me mad.”

No, Mr. Ainsworth, it's not your money. It's the business owners money that your hired thugs steal for you. And the attitude that you have, believing you should be able to teal as much as you want, anytime you want, from anyone you choose, is what makes me mad.

For mom and pop shops, cooking the books is becoming a high-tech business.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
