Average software isn't even average.

I can not count the number of times I am faced with a consumer facing software such as fastfood terminals, atms, phones or even OS's that simply are broken. I am so sick of looking around like there is something wrong with me, when its the fucking code that simply offers me broken options. My favorite is the McDonalds ordering platform that simply offers one option once you select your first item: + THATS it a fucking + sign is my only option. What if I only want one fucking thing!!!

No I have to stumble around, looking ignorant until I finally just press the add more + sign. WHALLA
I can then select complete order - stupid programmers show me we all should write our own code that way we live or die by its quality.

Someone once told me, be glad software is so poorly written on average, otherwise we would all be a slave to big brother by now.

    that's what happens when "UX designers" take over.

    Well its intentional. They optimise these mc Donalds screens not to be efficient but to make more sales.
    If adding a plus makes some people the need to think they should buy more then they already won with their UI goal.

    @oiledwheels I'm assuming it's about the French word "voilà" that's also used in English, but it should probably keep its original spelling. It roughly translates to "here" or "there you go". Otherwise, if it's not that, I don't know what "walla" is either :D
