Shoppers at Target Corp. were unable to make purchases Saturday
at stores across the country, prompting long lines and
complaints.
On Saturday afternoon, Target said it was aware of the problem
and that its employees were working to correct the issue. Store
employees informed shoppers of a problem with the company's
checkout registers.
"We're aware that guests are currently unable to make purchases
at Target stores," a spokesman for the retail chain said. "Our
teams are troubleshooting now, and we apologize for the
inconvenience."
Target didn't say what caused the issue.
Many shoppers took to Twitter to complain of long lines and
confusion at stores. They used the hashtag #TargetDown and pointed
out the poor timing of the outage, coming the day before Father's
Day.
