Ok there isn't really any good reason to give a company like McDonald's free money and yet the QA part of my brain has needed to try this for a long time, so ... I did it.
Using one of the automated tills I ordered a burger with no meat , no ketchup, no pickles, no mustard, no onion and no bread.
It let me put the order through and pay. I got... well nothing. Still at least I satisfied my curiosity if not my appetite.
And of course I cycled up to the roof of the Opera house … again.
Which now makes me the "Local Legend" for this section on #Strava 😆
@[email protected] I got… nothing. To be fair I did not question them. I did not have the nerve and suddenly felt shy due to my silliness. My order appeared on the preparing side of the screen but never made it to the ready side. It just dissappeared. I also saw some staff talking and laughing and then figured I would make my get away. That said, if they were looking for the clown that did this they might have suspected me given I was standing there with a fucking unicycle! 😆
@ruari Did you get a bun?
Amazing that they allow this in their software, to be honest.

Yes, this feels like a bug to me. My job is to test software… just… not for McDonald's! 😆
@[email protected] And in the back room someone wiped out a number from a whiteboard, and wrote a big zero under "Days since our last nothingburger:".
@[email protected] Well, I 1. Satisfied my curiosity 2. Had a little excitement 3. Got some favourites and boosts 4. Enjoyed interacting with you all So… actually, yes I did! 😉
@tanketom I got… nothing.

A new concept of "fast" food… a 0 seconds hamburger 😄
Wonderful. #QAFTW
No one wants to hear this, but I was with a friend a few years ago on a flight with one of the first inflight in chair screens that had a game console.
We messed around and realized the UI looked familiar. We up arrowed a bit (or down), overrode the game selection and discovered we were in the AC system for the plane. All connected.
We decided not to go elsewhere, in case we ended up going nowhere.
Not a nothingburger
My friend had done QA testing for Motorola Emergency Radio services.
First responders getting a clear message was paramount. Six sigma was the starting point for them.
I am always bemused when s/w fails on simple tests from "users".
When my kids were young, I would test their code for them. Their teachers told them their code was too complicated. I told them to ask the teacher if they could test other people's assignments. Bad s/w starts early in life.
nice... well... not! 😞
this reminds me when I *almost* had a new laptop for free from an online retailer by simply adding another laptop of the same price in the cart and changing the quantity next to that item to '-1'
yes, the order total was then 0.
no, I didn't put the order in, I'm trying to stay away from trouble... 😅
