You got me! I'm waiting to see if anyone else responds. I know POS is point of sales, a computer system, so it might be a variation of that. Can't wait to find out.

It's like the old boxing terminology. Ya know, he's a tomato soup can. Somebody you run out there to show you have a boxer but the champ is going to pound his ears of.
The add is looking for an Executive Chef who is a Can Of Soup.

Default Bahahaha!!!!

No, didn't call cuz they had a 'fax your info' number. I mean, if they're looking for it you can't exactly ask what 'IT' is, right?

Course, I'd probably just make it up as I go along anyway.

I mean, COS/cost of sales...we talking food costs, pricing, food costs compared to pricing...completely obnoxious selling practices...?

No wait...that would be COSP (cos with a lisp)

Hmmm...well, I'll know when I hear back (which for here might be some time)

April

Hey, anybody up for bets ? (I am close to LV you know...)

probably just dropped the G.
I know when I sometimes place an ad the order taker will tell me if I cut 9 characters it will save me 40. or something like that.
I would definately follow up and ask. The place may be siting around wondering why nobody is applying.
