    Couldn’t they just *2 all the bills from before this was ran and straighten it out?

      I imagine they could if they knew exactly what you did and when, but if it doesn’t get discovered until later and nobody knows what happened, it would probably be a bitch to figure out

        It seems like it would be fairly easy to find. All you need to do is find out where the price drops massively, and work backwards from there, since it doesn’t change the code going forward.

        Pretty sure it would be obvious to anyone working there that chicken tenders are $10 not $5. Even a quick glance at any single bill would show the issue.

              No. The bill given to the customer would still show the correct amount.

              And if anyone looked at previous bills from the backend, they would see normally priced chicken tenders. The total for the bill would be wrong though.

                  Yeah, obviously the issue can be discovered. My point is that it’s not going to be immediately discovered by the cashier or a customer. It’ll probably not get discovered until the accountant comes by and notices the discrepancy.
