A new video store opened near me, so I joined and rented some movies.
This place does everything on paper: they wrote me a receipt with the names
of my movies, and I got a copy, and they kept a copy.
When I went to return the movies, they laboriously searched through a
stack of handwritten receipts until they found mine, and checked off my movies.
Being the computer kind of guy that I am, I pointed out that they should sort
the receipt pile by membership number, making the search much quicker.
"Why?" asked the clerk. "People don't come in the store in membership
number order."
Sigh...
