    Imagine if someone fucked up the code and this worked.

      If I recall correctly, there was a bug in the McDonald’s order screens that allowed one to remove almost everything from a burger, and get enough negative money to buy another burger with it.

          I sort of get it though. Who in their right mind would actually try to buy the cheeseburger bread. Just the bread, without any of the cheeseburgery parts. That’s how these bugs features get overlooked.

            I feel like if you make point of sale systems, any time you’re adding negative values, you really ought to make sure you can’t cheese it haha

            But I’m so glad they did, thanks for sharing.
