Russia.

Chaos when technology fails.

Amazon is like 'What are cash registers?'

A system issue or were they hacked... again?

Oh Target respond!

Ugh oh CYBER WORLD

Has Target tried unplugging and plugging it back in? Or just blow on the cartridge.

Imagine this was Election Day & these were lines of voters. If Russia made a single state lose power on Election Day 2020 that would be chaos. Why the hell hasn't Congress passed requirements for paper ballot backups? senatemajldr is blocking bi-partisan legislation.

Biggest saving ever today!! 😂

Anyone else think major US corporations are being probed by hostile nations (China, Russia) before the next election? Instagram, Target, Facebook, Quest, Border Security, et al. All while the US “escalated online attacks on Russia’s power grid.” TellRussiaToTurnMyCableBackOn 🚬

I just left there with ALL my shit still in the buggy 😡

Hey CNN. Aren't you going to spin this to make it Trump's fault? Stay true to your goal of blaming Trump for all that goes wrong and congratulate the DEMS for all that goes right. Don't change now. It's too late.

If everyone could just stop buying things they don’t need that would be perfect 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

KNX1070 Break out the calculators! They're located on isle 12.

They’ve become a Russian Target.

You don’t realize how dependent you are on technology until it stops working. This holds true for companies as well. When the internet goes down so does your system. At the retail level this is another reason why self check out cashiers shouldn’t replace employees entirely

These are such classy places. I'm sure everyone's handling it just fine...

Everything’s free! Day

Walmart is better, its just true lol

tastapleton11 just wanted to make sure you were aware

I’ve never had an issue I go to target 🎯 all the time

🤠🧐

Good. Shop local

So Walmart is open all night. I’m just glad to see CCN cares about the economy. I thought they were so communist they didn’t give a rats ass.

I think I'd just walk out and go back another day....

Why make it a story? People chose to stand there to wait. It's not a crisis.

It's the Russians!

BREAKING NEWS: Secret back channel message between White House and Kremlin to 'target registered Dems' gets mistranslated as 'Dem Target registers.' target

Unplug the router, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in.

i cannot believe that my ravenous consumption habits are being impeded this is absolutely absurd that i cannot consume cheap chinese wares at any time i like on demand i feel what someone who isnt on tons of anti psychotics would call 'angry' about how long i have to wait this is

Get Obama over there, he’ll give a few more people his “shovel ready” jobs to use a calculator and a money box.

Lasted 30 minutes before giving up 🤷🏻‍♀️

McDonald’s : sorry the ice cream machine is broken Target : sorry the whole cash register is broken
