Human error happens all the time though, people don't concentrate these days, too busy thinking about other things in their own oblivious world, just have to look around while driving/shopping to see that! I don't think people intend to cause issues at all, or at least I'd hope they don't, a lot of the time they just don't think about things though, particularly if it's not the standard box ticking exercise in some cases, or they're more interested in rushing a job to finish quickly and get down the pub than doing a decent job and taking pride in it.
I make stupid mistakes all the time, often through getting 'flustered' from being watched so I make a point of not watching other people do their job, not that it seems to help them... I fully appreciate when I f*ck up, people will lose trust and not ask me to do anything else (don't forget I do 'work', just not a 'proper' job). I was terrible at my till tart job back in the day, managed to make some colossal fails including selling alcohol to underage kids, accepting a fake £50 note and giving far too much change, as well being 'rude' to more than one ignorant customer. But I recognise I was shit at it and the reasons why, I left and would never do till work again, it's not fair on the employer or the customer!!
