It's 2019 and still retailers haven't quite got a grip on their online shopping websites. A large supermarket in Australia sold products with deep discounts due to a glitch [news.com.au] until the company found the problem and restored the system. This story comes with a modern twist with users going to social media to spread the word about the glitch on the site so others can quickly take advantage. The store was able to get ahead of the surge in online shoppers and cull some of the carts, but not before the front runners picked up their discount goods.

Oh, look, a good use for social media. What are we up to, 5, or 6 now?
