Walmart Defends Canceling Mispriced Website Orders:
Step up to the plate fellas. There is no doubt that you can afford to cover that computer glitch loss.
On Wednesday night, Walmart said it resolved an issue that was causing an online frenzy among shoppers. An apparent glitch on the company’s website that morning led to $8.85 listings for items that included computer monitors and projectors.
The country’s largest retailer was selling a 24-inch high-definition Viewsonic computer monitor, an InFocus IN2124 Projector digital projectors and other products, many for $8.85. The projector is now listed for $578.89 on Walmart.com and $579.99 on Newegg.com.
When United Airlines made a mistake on the website they had class enough to honor the mistake until it was corrected.
United Airlines Made a Huge Mistake With Ticket Prices (And They’ll Honor It!) and ate the loss. Walmart should do the same.
TheBlaze/AP) — United Airlines accidentally gave away tickets for practically nothing Thursday — and the airliner says it will honor those prices.
Customers grabbed up tickets for as low as $5 and $10 before the mistake was caught and the company’s website and phone centers were shut down.
United even listed some tickets as low as $0 and customers had only to pay generic airline fees.
Situations like this is what separates the men from the boys.
Its not like they can’t afford to cover the loss; after all WalMart is the biggest employer in the world. Each and every one Mr. Sam kids are billionaires many times over.
