How can a big company like Costco have a website down for even 24 hours on Black Friday?
Not only did they mistake the price on a Sono's beam where 100's (1000's?) of us got in on and sold them right out, but their site was up and down, but even when up couldn't process orders for almost all of Black Friday and the day after...
How does that happen in 2019.. it almost seems like it had to be an inside job, or some kind of hack group was causing it.. would have loved to be a fly on the wall in their data center any of the last four days. Does anyone know the inside scoop on what went down?
Just thinking of all the $ lost when people couldn't order and went to other vendors, on top of the fact that they lost tons of the Sonos beam... can't imagine the director of tech there still has a job, right?? What do you think?
