Angry Scot and the flying beans.
Some years ago the company I worked for were installing 20 or so brand new barely tested PC based cash registers into a new independent supermarket in Glasgow. The owner had run a number of successful convenience stores and decided he could take on the big boys. The outfitting of the store wasn't going to plan and we'd installed our hardware before the builders had installed any windows, which resulted in a large security issue as.. well, it was Glasgow afterall.
For these few days the owner was anxious to say the least and any slight hiccup with the project sent him into a rage.

It was unfortunate for my boss that when we uploaded the final product database to the tills that they decided to scramble the indexes so the item that was scanned bore no resemblance to the item that was printed on the receipt. This was spotted and rectified.. mostly.
Unfortunately once the store opened it became apparent that there were still some major issues with the product database and the owner had had enough. He summoned my boss the project manager to one of the checkouts and proceeded to scan a number of items.

"Beans!" He announced whilst holding a tin of beans,"so why does it fookin well say soup?" - After which the beans were hurled at our project manager.

"Peas! Not Carrots!" as another tin was launched in the direction of my unfortunate boss.

By all accounts there were a dozen or so products launched at my boss as part of this tirade.

It only got worse later when they noticed they had run out of an expensive line of wine.. Someone found out that the tills were misprogrammed with a 'buy one get as many as you could carry for free' offer.
