For folks who don't know the technology behind it, there is a lot going on behind the scenes for any sort of online ordering system. There is info from vendors, supplies at the warehouses, financial stuff, security stuff, etc. The ONLY people trying to pretend like these glitches are examples of public sector incompetence are republicans with an agenda.

Its time for young healthy people to BOYCOTT WALMART!!!

I sold my shares in Wallyworld some time ago and donated the profit to charity.
