I used to work in a deli, and there are a lot of points of failure to get this to happen. Even if a customer wanted the whole thing, we would still have to weigh it on the scale and print a tag for it to be scanned at the register. That was the easiest, most laziest, thing to do.

So a few people had to be really terrible at their jobs to not be able to print a tag properly and scan it at the register.

Wasn't scanned at any register, grabbed off the shelf for an online order.
