Maybe, but I thought how could they quantify lost revenue? They were selling at a lower profit I get that, but what about the thousands of customers that went in just to fill their trolleys full of bargains, customers that would have shopped elsewhere if there was no 20% discount. I bet that effect, plus the free BBC advert means they are "quids-in"

That's my local co-op store. According to the plaques on the wall the employee of the month is Bobby Tables.

I don't always test my code, but when I do, I do it in Production.

As the discount wasn't advertised, understandably as it wasn't supposed to exist, why would there have been any more shoppers than normal? And a 20% discount is almost certainly no-profit, if not indeed minus profit, in the grocery sector where price competition is fierce. Had there been binge buying on any scale it would have been, I'd venture to suggest, a whole lot worse than it was. Heads rolling bad, in fact.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Oops!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The article's full quote is actually: > "It's always been said that to err is human, but to really mess things up you need a computer and this is a perfect example." ...and no, this is actually a perfect example of how people mess things up. The subject line says it all - somebody forgot a WHERE clause.

I don't really care about specific examples, he messed up good and he needed a computer to mess up this bad :) My out-of-context quote still stands strong :D
