Fresh example of a "D'oh!" from Interactive Kiosk News: "Leap Day" causes problems for United check-in kiosks
Via Interactive Kiosk News:
Bill Gerba cited an article from the Chicago Business News and the AP about a snag United Airline's "Easy Check-In" kiosks.
This problem could have been easily prevented, if the programmers thought to look at calendar quirks that occur just once every four years!
"Passengers using United Airlines' "Easy Check-In" found it anything but that on Leap Day when the automated system failed, resulting in longer lines at its U.S. airport counters.
The Chicago-based carrier blamed the service interruption on software issues related to the leap year."
"D'oh!"
