Default Re: Manufacturing Mistakes

Hi Rock,

Agree!

And, per your reply #8, might add ................ not just in "engineering".

Your statement could also include:

1. Employees preparing simple non-hi-tech orders of hamburgers at fast food restaurants with your order of: "No onions, No cheese, & No mayo"; and,

2. In Mr. Tom W's case, employees in mail delivery handling packages with "FRAGILE" written on all six (6) sides of the box in LARGE red letters as large as Railroad Boxcar Letters; and,

3. Cooks sending out still cold, bleeding steaks when you ordered it Medium Well; and,

4. Trousers bought at Wal-Mart where one saw the inside sewn-in tag marked: "Size 32 -- Made in India."; and later at home witness that the trousers are actually about a size 29.

5. When one buys (3) eggplants at a grocery & the young cashier asks, "What are these?"; and,

6. When a bartender gives you "Pink Squirrel" made in a blender when you ordered an "Old Fashion"; and,

7. When a bank teller, postal clerk, or merchant gives you change for a $100.00 dollar bill when you gave them a $20.00 bill, or in many cases, vice versa; and,

8. Well ......................... others may think of a few interesting experiences to help prove your point.
