All Target Store Registers Down Nationwide

I've never looted before. Now's as good a time as any, i guess.
This seems to happen every so often, it's usually not as bad as it sounds. We just direct traffic to the ATM and offer discounts. It's surprising how many people work with it for a discount. The hardest effect is on those with snap/food stamps.
The food is also trashed if it ever touched cold storage which is such a waste. The amount of fine food we'd throw away after these outages was disgusting.
I remember getting scolded for directing employees to put a solid frozen turkey back on the sales floor. You expect a certain level of stupidity in retail rules but target shined bright.

I know you're kidding but why would you loot just because the registers are down? It's not like there is a natural disaster or civil unrest where nobody is watching.
Good luck to employees, dealing with customers in such a situation is hell.
"what do you mean I can't check out"
"I'm sorry ma'am the system is completely down, nothing I do"
"but I want to buy my things and leave"
"I know, I'm so sorry but the system is down, nationwide"
"look I just want to buy my stuff and go"
repeat a million times with increasing anger.
I was working at subway once and we ran out of bread (didn't have enough ordered in back, ran out, couldn't make any more until a new delivery) but us low level employees didnt have the power to do anything or close the store so we just stood their telling increasingly irate and un-understanding people that we didnt have bread.

Could you keep the food for yourself or it had to be thrown away?
Same. I feel bad for all of my former co-workers. So much shit they're going to have to deal with today.
Guarantee people couldn't keep it, both to liability issues, and to prevent people from trying to find a way to abuse the system.
Nightmare scenario for people who work at Target. People are going to abuse the hell out of them because of some IT fuck up.
This reminds me of one time I worked at a local grocery store and our registers wouldn't accept credit cards. Our assistant manager got on the intercom and said our satellites were down LOL
We turning everything into Shlooter genre with chara-ction elements.
