53. A communication method for use by a merchant facility, comprising:
-
establishing a service point communication link between a service point and a base station;
establishing a wireless communication link between the base station and a service person using a mobile transceiver to link with the service point communication link to enable the service point and the service person to communicate for initiating a transaction; and
establishing a wireless communication link between the base station and another service person using another mobile transceiver to link with the communication link between the service point and the other service person so that both service people and the service point can communicate with one another simultaneously.

54. A communication method for use by a merchant facility, comprising:
-
establishing an service point communication link between a service point and a base station;
establishing a wireless communication link between the base station and a service person using a mobile transceiver to link with the service point communication link to enable the service point and the service person to communicate for initiating a transaction;
establishing a wireless communication link between the base station and another service person using another mobile transceiver to enable said another service person to broadcast a communication to other service persons independently of the communication between the service point and the service person; and
establishing broadcast communication links between the base station and other service person mobile transceivers to enable said other service person to communicate simultaneously with the other service persons.

55. A communication method for use by a merchant facility, comprising:
-
establishing a service point communication link between a service point and a base station;
establishing a wireless communication link between the base station and a service person using a mobile transceiver to link with the service point communication link to enable the service point and the service person to communicate for initiating a transaction; and
establishing a wireless independent communication link between at least two other service persons using other mobile transceivers to enable said other service persons to communicate with one another independently of the communication between the service person and the service point user. - View Dependent Claims (56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74)
