Over the past month we have provided something like 8000 hot dogs to 3 corporate clients. The worst part of this job has been sourcing the bread rolls. The easiest thing to do would be order them from a bakery, but we have found that one of the major supermarket chains is half the price of the wholesale bakers, so logically we have been buying from them.
Unfortunately the said supermarket chain has a bug in their checkout system which means that they cannot input multiple purchases of bread, each individual packet has to be scanned in, or as is more usually the case, a single packet is scanned however many hundred times needed to input the order. The upshot of this is that when I appear in the supermarket the checkout girls begin to say their prayers in the hope that I won't choose their aisle.
Whenever I chance upon a new checkout girl she usually wastes 15 minutes attempting to discover a method of typing in more than one packet, but eventually she will give up like all the rest and accept the inevitable!
