It lets me click on "Add to mobile order" but there is no evidence that an order exists.
There is no place to review it, or checkout. And the employees have no clue.

They showed a printout with a very small amount of computer code. My assumption was
that it was COBOL. Then, one of the characters, who was probably born around 1995, says
that no one has used COBOL since the '70s. But an article written this year says there
are about a billion lines of new COBOL code being written every year. And the
most recent update of the language seems to be from 2014. But I don't know why that
character would recognize COBOL.
