I had an interesting experience in Greggs the other day when I ordered a decaffeinated latte. The member of staff apologised that they were not allowed to make decaff lattes, but could make me a caffeinated latte or a decaff americano! I didn't probe further, but this sounds an awful lot to me like one of those "computer says no" situations (the code for a decaff latte is not in their till system, or something).
And these situations seem increasingly common - something entirely possible can't be done because "the system" (usually meaning some awful proprietary computer system) can't handle it. Any other similar experiences?
