This is how most POS and cash registers are set up. Simply type the
number and the last two digits are the decimals.

Re: Was a decimal point keyed?
Actually, some calculators can be set to assume a decimal point, so for
example keying "123" becomes "1.23", while keying "123." becomes "123.00".
I think it's called "accountant mode". I got used to using that mode years
ago when I had to add up long
columns of dollar amounts, and I like it -- it does save keystrokes. :-)

Did you try to tell them "its like a calculator, you need to tell it
what to do."
They have to key the point on a calculator, why should it be any
different?
