How can Bitcoin be used in a standard, 'brick and mortar' storefront? Are there any services available for this yet, other than a laptop/smartphone with a bitcoin wallet on it?

A friend of mine who is a software developer recently mentioned to me that he would like to build a cheap point-of-sale system for local merchants in our area. A number of places here are cash only because they cant afford to process credit cards. I told him about Bitcoin but I dont know of any existing services that could be used for this.

Thoughts?

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Talking a store front owner into accepting bitcoin is one thing.

Talking them into purchasing a $2,000 point of sale device is another matter.

Seems like they could just sign up with a bitpay account, or various other online services where customer can scan QR code to automatically pay?

These apps are for Android and other smartphones. Simple, Convenient, and Free.
