I know, I worked on Food&Beverage for a lot of time, and I'm also properly paranoid.

No ice-cubes in the freezer? Throw them in the microwave, and make some coffee.
In the worst case you'd have to boil milk to make some filtered coffee.

A customer of mine was considering a third party product for some functionality they want.
It's kind of a niche market and there is basically only this one vendor in the Netherlands for the product.
There's another vendor, apparently, but they're not very big (and they have bad experiences with them), and there is one company who wrote their own.
So anyway, I just went to this one vendor's website and the login/registration page, where I enter a username and password, company name, business identifier number, email and some other info, and IT'S NOT HTTPS!? 
It literally says "Not secure" right there in the browser and somehow everyone is okay with this!?
And it's not like I went to the HTTP site while I should've gone to the HTTPS site (but seriously, HSTS?) there really is no HTTPS available...
If this is what they're offering I don't have much hope for their services, which is SOAP so my expectations weren't too high to begin with 
The sad truth is that most of their clients don't care about IT and/or security, it's just a necessary evil and a huge cost...

So anyway, I am currently drinking Dutch Windmill as it is selling for AUD$30.00 a carton and beer prices haven't been that cheap in Australia since like the turn of the century.
Am I drinking the Netherlands equivalent of Fosters? Have you heard of it? On the side it says it is made in the Netherlands so not some Australian company taking the piss.

It could be fixed in about 10 minutes and for free, there are services like cloudflare that will allow you to redirect the dns in order to serve HTTPS.

My town's council website (a subdomain under .GOV.UK no less) has a Security/Privacy policy that proudly states that all data is secured using SSL protocols and that they take security very seriously. Go to the login, forgot password (which invites you to enter a new password and sends a confirmation link to you), or signup pages - all are on plain HTTP. Of course both my browser and my antivirus barf at that, and I have to explicitly override the warnings. I've told them several times now but they don't seem bothered. For one thing, they don't have many people using the online services. I wonder why not...

So what profession do you have that might interest their clients, like your employer?
