Point of sale terminal
Backpacks in videogames are usually for extra space to carry more gear, or to increase the brightness of your avatar’s aura (translation for non-millenials: look cooler).
In real life, however, they can be dangerous.
Just the other day I wiped out a point of sale terminal (POS) at a pizzeria, including the COVID-era plastic wall, by knocking everything to the floor when turning my body while wearing my backpack, a real-life special move.
The image of the digital price ticker display hanging upside-down by its wire, swinging back and forth, and the staring faces of the clientele after the event’s loud CRASH still stick to my mind and cause laugh attacks.
After smiling, announcing we were tourists, and apologising, I tried to put everything back as best I could, and quickly left the establishment.
