I keep seeing people either doing things manually (or repeating the process from scratch again & again) or doing semi-automated.
This process is very tedious to make sure every thing goes right. Recently, at a fruit shop store-keeper is billing using a semi-automated machine for billing the fruits. He presses some code based on the item and the bill automatically generates based on the weight and the code. Because of the huge rush at stalls these days, it is very difficult for him to remember the codes. So, by mistake the store-keeper pressed the code incorrectly for apples (usually a Kg of apples cost around 150) and because of the wrong code the bill shows only 24 rupees.
A huge loss for him. The hard earned money for him just goes away by simple mistakes and unnoticed some times. For these they should trust technology (like bar-codes) even though it is costly but at the end of the day we will live with 0 mistakes. Make NO Mistake.
