Print the sequential number using a barcode font. If a customer has a
barcode scanner, they can "see" the number, but they'd have to be
looking pretty hard. Meanwhile, an $80 barcode scanner (USB connection)
on the office computer would let them read the sequential number.

I have a client who issues tickets in numerical sequence (it's a
pawnshop). The sequence helps them balance things back at the end of
the day (read that as check for stealing) when checking the various
parcels received for the tickets issued (they keep a copy of the
ticket issued to their customer and at the end of the day sort them
sequentially and read the numbers off the tickets to ensure they match
the parcels). They are now not wanting the number printed on the
ticket as their competitors may be able to get an idea from the
sequential numbers how much business they are doing (by getting a
ticket early in the morning and then one ate in the afternoon).
So, they have asked me to come up with a solution and I must admit
that I am coming up blank.
Any ideas?
