You've got to be kidding me

One of the key aspects of retail operations these days is that the vast majority of it is handled through computers. When they are all up and running, amazing and mysterious things can be wrought and all is right with the world™.

The underside of that rock is that it makes the computers and the programs loaded onto them tremendous point source failures.

Let me tell you right now, attempting to conduct a brisk trade in selling, renting out, and checking in movies when the program that you depend on to handle those transactions goes tits up and bloated the moment you ask it to do anything other than load, sucks gelid green gremlin dick.

Gods help us if we can't get it sorted out before the weekend is over or the reams of various notes charting who has what, where, and for how long are going to be decidedly convoluted and time-consuming to sort back out.

*Sigh* This is why I get paid the big bucks. (Why? I have no idea. They don't fit in a wallet and the antlers are fucking sharp. I really need to pay more attention to employment terms.)
