The disconnect between how systems "should" be and how they actually are is disappointingly enormous.

Retailers are surprisingly enough just like consumers and want things to "just work" without caring about security.

And so they get Internet-connected fridges, and it's all fine, until the very moment it isn't.

I hope this is a learning experience and they beef-up their systems.

I hope this is a learning experience and they realize that commercial refrigerators don't need to have internet access.

And it’s not just retailers. I’ve seen this just about everywhere, especially in toxic workplaces.
