This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Supermarkets and credit cards
I used to work for a computer company that fixed tills for a lot of major supermarkets. One store who shall remain nameless has "mobile tills" that are basically a 10-item-or-less till on a trolley with a pair of car batteries. They talk back to the store using a 64-bit WEP key, which is the same for every store in the UK.

I mean, they could at least use 128-bit keys. Every Little Helps, after all.
