You expected the people in charge of the POS system to want anything to do with the rest of your systems?
The pumps are the job of the pump techs. The POS is taken care of by the local POS system providers. Everything else is worked on by whatever contractor your wack store hired to take care of cooling, plumbing, and electrics.
I am only saying these things concretely because I've worked for a POS installation/support company and the amount of times, "That's not in my job description," came out of my mouth disgusted me, but was also completely a completely reasonable thing to do. Fixing the pumps? Not my job at all. I modify a Windows back-end to take care of CC's and barcodes, not reprogram petrol pumps.
You can probably use the most out of date and nowadays useless privilege escalations to gain total control of you work's computer system, and even, theoretically, skim tiny amounts off purchases while making the count correct.
The only time the pump techs and POS techs should be working together is when signals need to be translated and transported between the two, very very different systems.

I mean I understand what you just said and I agree, but totally not the point I was trying to make lmao.

Their very own software allows you to easily access the Database and change the price/amount/etc of any open tabs, so even if it's JUST the POS that is compromised, it still seems very insecure*...
