6/15-Target Register Outage

sidsmom — Sat, 15 Jun 2019 19:36:50 GMT

Interesting.

Looks like a global issue.

Shoppers are abandoning full carts.

Are you the middle of this?

‘Systems issue’

@sidsmom

I hadn’t been to Target in months but stopped on my way home about 12:30 pm or so. Everything was fine then.

As of 4:00 p.m majority of the Target stores registers and computers are back up and running.

It must be a very slow news day for them to give this live coverage.

@sidsmom I've been reading the tweets. 5 years ago to the exact day?! My Target days have been few and far between since the last hack.

This is a day from H*ll if you’re in retail.

People complaining & full carts of items (including perishables)

are just being left. Wow.

It’s really sporadic.

Some in Florida, Texas, Arizona, New Jersey...hit/miss.

You’re lucky!

True this!

Had no problems picking up an online order an hour ago here in Northern MI.

Yes, went there today and a manager was at the front letting customers know that the system was down. You could still buy things but cashiers had to manually input each item which would make everything much slower and longer lines. I decided ro just shop somewhere else. I'm in California and this was around 11:30 am.

For sure if I experienced this outage at my local Target store I would have abandoned my cart and just left the store. Wouldn't care what was in the cart either, perishable or nonperishable. Well, I suppose I would put back the perishable items. I do have a little bit of heart. lol

No excuse for walking away & leaving perishables in your cart...good grief, what's wrong with people.

People really need to calm down, this was not a crisis. Don't sweat the small stuff, this lasted about 2 hours.

@RetRN Exactly. Everything was back up by 4:00.

I do feel sorry for the cashiers, though. I can just imagine the heck that some customers rained down on them.
