New ‘Improved’ software at the supermarket

I went to the SPAR supermarket for the first time since my return today.
It provided me with a real *facepalm* moment.

At the cash register they put up a sign:

Due to the use of new software we can no longer offer cash refunds for foodcheques.

I don’t get it… is the ‘new software’ thing just an excuse or did they really
pay someone to write software which reduces customer satisfaction?

If you’re going to replace a software system, at least make sure the new
system is a real improvement. Software is supposed to make our lives easier, not harder.

To bad I didn’t get to take a look at the software to see who made it,
in any case whoever they are… as far as I’m concerned they can join the Isabel developers.

FAIL!

I thought I had a bad day, until I came across this blog entry.
Apparently her boyfriend 'cooked'  the laptop in the oven and even though her laptop still works
and my keyboard does not, I must say it makes my bad luck melt away like snow on a sunny day.

Oh and I don't think you'll be able to get a new case for it... but at least you got your data back :-)
