More Insane Rules...
If you're wondering why our economy is so bad, here's just one example of how the govt, through countless rules and regulations, is putting a lead weight around the neck of businesses trying to make a go of it.

I do believe that there is some kind of disconnect from everyday reality that bureaucrats get from working in their ivory towers.
That, combined with the concept of highly questionable personally types who are driven to SEEK these positions, and we get this kind of BS.

it's a tax reporting, pure and simple, not unlike those signs you see at franchise-run food chains that ask you to call a toll-free # if the cashier doesn't give you a receipt.
i think it's fair argue whether a particular tax or tax rate is insane or equitable, but not the issue of collection itself.

Guy's: This makes perfect sense. A group of on our dime govt empolyees works up the sign to make no sense (without even trying), hires their brother in law's etc to fan out the purchase orders. Hires their cousins to install the signs. Then they sit back and wait for their boss to tell them to correct the situation, and they reverse engineer the installation and do it 2 or 3 more times until they give up and pass it off to another division. Probably had to hire some new talent along the way, nephew Fred, niece Betty...you get it.
The Florida operators need to come together and get ahold of everyone they know to call that number and ask "Well what number do you use to report lost money and out of date products". No wait, they would probably hire more help on the citizens funds to answer the increased voume of calls. Les

So the only machines that would NOT have the number to call to report machines out of compliance are the ones that are out of compliance? And only machines that are in compliance have the number to call about machines that are not in compliance? Well, gentlemen, I don't see any possible problems with this plan (yeah right!)
