A previous hotel job I had used a touchscreen Windows-based POS. One day, for whatever reason, I accidentally held down the 'submit transaction' button for half a second too long. The terminal went apeshit and crashed.
Several hours later, after hours of phone calls, hundreds of orders written on paper and totted up by calculator, a confused-looking technician managed to get it working properly again.
What a mess that was.
