The impact scenario was that a person with a common name comes for their order, gets given a bag/box with stuff, and that box contains both their items and the items from someone else with the same name - i.e. the process (and the supporting IT system) simply couldn't organize separate pickups for two different John Smiths on the same day.
- mjevans 6y agoThat's just a poorly designed system. The proper natural key is an order number (possibly an alias to an internal ID that isn't shared, like a GUID). The failure mode without blame might be a pickup which contains both orders, in distinct bags. I think most places staple a receipt to the outside of the bag, so that should make this even less likely.
