Talk about a piss poor 'mgmt' decision, linking ALL the stores together into some master computer, as if it's SO criticality ONE to keep store stock backup current.....they could just go online maybe at midnight or 2 am, some such, and order stock......and submit sales totals, etc.....
so they lost many millions of bux in sales and pissed off many cussin tomers not to mention the restocking charges/wages to put the abandoned crap back on the shelves, ASSuming the frozen food was not all rotten by then.....
