[Panel 1]
[Nils]
You look a bit frazzled.

[Bell]
The bloody till was
refusing to work.

I can add up a drinks order, but
we couldn't get the drawer open.

[Nils]
Ah, so that's why Steve asked if
I had a crowbar he could borrow.


[Panel 2]
[Nils]
Well, tills are all
'orrible closed-
source code. Nobody
ever gets to
improve them, or if
they do it's for
the next model that
you have to buy.
What do you expect?

[Bell]
I hate computers! Tills were
really easy to use before
they computerised them.


[Panel 3]
[Nils]
When they're working you have
to admit they do work well.

And it's a lot easier
to work out who's
on the fiddle.

[Bell]
And I'm supposed to
be in favour of that?


[Panel 4]
[Nils]
Yes, because you wouldn't
want to be too stupid to work
out ways to fiddle. Think of
it as evolution in action.

[Bell]
Hmmmm... OK, maybe.

[Nils]
In two or three generations,
Mandi will be extinct.

[Bell]
Uh-huh. The way SHE's on
the fiddle I think they
must be on her side.
