If people tried to pay for other services like they try to pay for programming (Video)
What if customers at restaurants, bookstores, salons, and other places acted like businesses that buy software?

If restaurants delivered products like programmers:

* Yeah, I know we said we'd deliver your meal in half an hour, but it's going to be a few more days.
* Yeah, we realize that dish was lacking, but the next version is going to be outstanding!

Amazing. The restaurant expanded to "will pay pennys and you will also teach us". Classic cheap customers.

well I think I have waited for meals in restaurants that were very much like the delivery of bad software.... (I still had to pay).
