Not crazy. Stupid.

This is an example of how computers rule our lives. We have to do what the computers say, not the computers doing as WE wish.

Here’s what happened: Minimum wage kid is in front of a screen with GUI buttons, like on your smart phone. If the kid punches “hamburger”, the computer brings up the regular price. If she punches “cheeseburger”, the BOGO special price comes up.

SO - while she could have done it on her own, she probably did not think about it. She was working the way the machine wanted her to work. I’ll bet $100 that’s what happened.

One of my pet peeves.
