This is the first time I’ve seen “gimp boy” being used this way.

Yeah that’s true. It’s been a long time since it happened, but I remember she was also puzzled at the cashier’s behavior, so I’d love to think that she enjoyed it too!

The official reason for such rules are usually “we need a mix of vendors” or something like that.

The unofficial, true reason is usually that the organizer wants to be the only one selling water so they can sell it for $5.

Automation brings speed and consistency, but there’s a significant difference between consistency and accuracy.

I deal with automation vs manual input a fair bit also, this is really accurate.

As a rule of thumb, when one or two cases go wrong, it’s usually human error. If hundreds of cases go wrong at once, it’s probably automation run amok.

“the person who has been working here for a long time must be wrong, it can’t ever be the automated system!” - said no sane human being ever.

you’re welcome! I already see a few bits of OC, i’m hoping that eventually OC will outweigh reposts!
