My bet: their entire operations team was incapacitated by heart attacks
and digestive issues and were unable to keep systems running.

Everyone there wouldn't be so dumb as to consume their own food.

The latest comp.risks (Risks) article contains several explanations for the

the first or second test a store would go through.

Most systems are now designed with the basic assumption that the
internet is always available - just like they assume that the electrical
grid is always available.
