POS is an English acronym. It stands for Point of Sale. The proper term would usually be POS Terminal, but it's often shortened to POS.
TIL. In Italian it's used as a word (not an acronym) to refer to those devices.
Does Italian have a certain way to pronounce acronyms? Plenty are pronounced in English. Eg: laser
I'm not native italian so take this with a grain of salt. All the acronyms I've heard in italian are pronounced as you would pronounce that word if it was Italian. Weirdly enough, they include a lot of English words (not acronyms) in their daily vocabulary and they pronounce those in English.
