I'm not going to say where it happened, but I
remember an incident where
the Stores engraged the ID number onto (delicate) winchester drive HDAs
with a Dremel-like tool. Needless to say the number of bad blocks was
somewhat rediculous!
The Stores in a certain college where I once worked insisted on checking
every delivery to make sure it was complete. I couldn't undertand why one
or two ICs in several orders were faulty, until I realised they took them
all out of the tubes to count them :-(

Intel or AMD had a similar problem (huge yield problems) because of an
overzealous clerk counting silicon wafers by hand. By *touching* them.
