Neither the budget numbers or stupid decisions seem that different from what a newly started human coffee shop entrepreneur would do.
I'm not at all a fan of AI, but humans are stupid too.
Yes, the classic blunder of the new coffee house first timer: ordering cases of canned tomatoes when none of their menu items use tomatoes.
People do this too when they suddenly get a wholesale offer on stupid things. My friend opened a business and shortly after he had thousands of bouncing balls in a closet for no fucking reason.
The only blunder in the story is not being able to come up with a recipe to use the canned tomatoes. Panini/bruschetta etc. are pretty common in cafe's.
