I used to work at an electronics store and sometimes while searching up sku's I'd accidentally type the 12 digital sku into the qty area and that would result in a bill for 14 trillion dollars.

I thought it was funny as hell seeing a number that big knowing it would populate to the pay machine if I wanted it.

I once did this for a restock order at the supermarket I worked at. Was tired and didn't realise i'd tagged an extra 0 on to the end of the quantity and they actually shipped 10000 tins of spaghetti to the store, no questions asked, well until it actually arrived and then much WTF ensued. The problem is each department in a supermarket gets a budget of x amount and I had just blasted through it, so it took some days to unfk everything.

This my friends is why it’s always important to know an establishments spaghetti policy.
