Thousands of people shopping, buggies full of food and necessities ready to check out. The customer activates their food stamp card using the credit/debit machine. The machine rejects it due to a major screw up in Pennsylvania Department of Human Services in Harrisburg.This is the scenario all across Pennsylvania the other day, when customers tried to make purchases of any kind.
In Walmart, carts upon carts of refrigerated and frozen foods could not be re-refrigerated nor re-frozen due to regulations of Walmart and the health regulations that the store is bound to. Thetefore, the food would be destroyed. A major loss two-fold.
Now, consider other sources of necessities, i.e., water, electricity, gas, banking, phones, etc. having a computer technology glitch or hacking. A sci-fi waiting to happen, and this time, it's real!
