Hey there -

I'm just joining this for the first time and am not too familiar with
the POS app, so please pardon my ignorance, but why does it require a
productStoreId in Facility?  Is it not set up like an ecommerce store
where the POS points to a productStoreId?  In which case, then, why
don't we just go from product store to facility?

It just seemed a little odd that ProductStore has a facilityId and
Facility has a productStoreId...
