dyfunctionality built in

This is probably the most unbelieveable yet. The new supermarket has what is called a loyalty card. Well they planned it, designed it, and manufactured it and delivered it to my apartment without including a barcode on it. Unbeliveable. The computer in the supermarket doesn't read the swipe section. When I went to the woman and explained she said don't worry they'll send you out vouchers every three months. How in God's name are they going to know how much I spent if there is no barcode or swipe to register my purchases. Are there ghosts hanging around the machines? Do they employ a team of Psychics ? No! this is dyfunctionality buit in. This is so dyfunctional that is is designed and implemented in such a way that it is impossible to work. Just think of how much money these people are getting paid! And instead of firing them they pay them double in overtime to sort out the mess they made. Financial wizardry of the upmost order. No one will be unemployed. In fact people will be over employed. Also no one will get points for loyalty as it's not possible and they won't have to for the time being give anything back.
