Undefined behavior can go bad quickly.
Could go the other way though. Ask them nicely if they'd be willing to free up their heap of inventory, and if they return you a cart overflow, you know you've stumbled upon the ultimate zero day coupon.
I give money to cashier, change comes out of coin dispenser. I say "Looks like I won again!", cashier dies a little inside.
Every time.
Long long ago in a callcenter not too far away, I made a guy choke on his drink. As required, I asked if there was anything else he needed before I ended the call, to which he replied "the winning lottery numbers?" I said "if I had those, I wouldn't be talking to you."
Unhandled exception leads to panic
I worked in groceries story when I was younger.
But funily enough, it's probably one of the rare times I'd have answered "yes"!
We got a policy here where anything mislabelled under 10$ is free for the first item. Anything over 10$ gets a 10$ rebate.
My understanding is that it was put in place a while ago when stores stopped labelling individual items to keep them in check and ensure that consumers had a recourse in case of mistake.

NULL being "no money" by any definition, and the regular price for this probably being under 10$... well, it's probably free!
Everything is free. The problem is avoiding the cops afterwards.
can I get uhhhhh NullPointer Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
sorry we only have Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException, is that okay?
that's how I like my coffee
How about
Class lol : Object
{
public static init void main (string args)
{
virtual void A_Start()
{
Java.Print(args)
break
}
}
}
In case it's not clear, I know nothing about Java.

Mmh nice, nullives.
It is funny, it’s just that the amount of funny is null.
When you buy these an exception is thrown.
Real world doesn't make exceptions. So you'll get UB.
Item labels only do this when they're very stressed
At least, the CSS works
null
null null null
Null null null null null? Null.
Null null NULL!
Free olives, the cost is listed as 0.
null != 0
Depends.
*olives > /dev/null
Don't try to buy it unless u want the register to open a black hole when the cashier puts it in.
Isn't NULL a macro in C for 0? So doesn't that mean these items are free?
In a way it's still the same with more modern languages. Especially OOP, setting an object to Null is just setting the address pointer to to 0x00000000.
Hence NullPointerException / NullReferenceException or similar, depending on the language.
I'd guess, in context, it's a floating point price column that hasn't been set, and the table designer didn't specify the column to be NOT NULL.
I guess Rust would have solved the problem as well.
Null is zero in german - so this must be free, it's a german shop
In a country where Null literally means zero? Awesome
