Buyer's missed ordering option leaves firm with 1% of needed cable
Original: Buyer missed one option and got 1% of the cable they needed Silly supplier ended up short-changing themselves https://ww
A buyer accidentally ordered just 1% of the cable required after missing a single option on the order, according to a report by The Register. The supplier ended up short-changed on the deal, and the costly mix-up is drawing amusement from tech readers who see it as a cautionary tale about ordering systems and human error.
Why now: People enjoy an embarrassing, relatable procurement blunder with a twist where the supplier also loses out.
