Programmer: “Does that mean it’s free?”
Cashier: stabs you in the face
I give money to cashier, change comes out of coin dispenser. I say “Looks like I won again!”, cashier dies a little inside.
Every time.
I worked in groceries story when I was younger.
But funily enough, it’s probably one of the rare times I’d have answered “yes”!
We got a policy here where anything mislabelled under 10$ is free for the first item. Anything over 10$ gets a 10$ rebate.
My understanding is that it was put in place a while ago when stores stopped labelling individual items to keep them in check and ensure that consumers had a recourse in case of mistake.

NULL being “no money” by any definition, and the regular price for this probably being under 10$… well, it’s probably free!

No, but these nulls might indicate references that previously pointed to memory that was freed.
In a country where Null literally means zero? Awesome
It is funny, it’s just that the amount of funny is null.
Isn’t NULL a macro in C for 0? So doesn’t that mean these items are free?
Free olives, the cost is listed as 0.
Programming aside electric self edge labels are the future. Where I work we do paper labels for about 50 pretty small stores and use best part of 30,000 sheets of paper a week.
I imagine with inflation causing an increased frequency of relabeling and relabeling costs causing an increased rate of inflation, it’s only a matter of time before I become too lazy to finish this joke.
