The scene where the computer is locked down and Samuel L Jackson says "the only way to find it is to go through the lines of code one by one".
Then the other guy goes "so how many of them are there?'
Samuel L says "about 5 million"
Well, it's like this.
We have a shop. It uses two software systems. Quickbooks in the back office. Does all the accounting and has all the product details and prices. And Point Of Sale in the front, scans all the barcodes and produces the price labels and controls the cash drawer, and uses a database it creates from the back end computer.
You can actually change prices in the front end, which will then change the back end prices. But, as I just found out, it's been changing prices in the wrong table in the back end. Which means all the tax calculations are screwed up.
So I have to go through every product (about 3000 of them) and check the prices, AND check every transaction since the beginning of the year, to find items where the tax is not 10% of the price. And there's about 5 million of them. Well, maybe not, but it sure feels like it. It's in the thousands. Spent all day yesterday doing it. I don't know how accountants do this looking at numbers all day long crap. It's making my eyes go numb.
