“You’ve just done in two hours what it takes
the three of us two days to do.” My college
roommate was working at a retail electronics
store in the early 2000s. Occasionally, the store
would receive a spreadsheet of thousands of product
prices from its competitor. A team of three employees
would print the spreadsheet onto a thick stack of paper and split it among
themselves. For each product price, they would look up their store’s price
and note all the products that their competitors sold for less. It usually took
a couple of days.
