Two of the largest supermarket chains in the UK were hit by technical issues on Saturday, the latest high-profile companies to suffer commercial disruption from outages.
J Sainsbury Plc, the country’s second-largest grocer, experienced “issues” with contactless payments and won’t be able to deliver the “vast majority” of the day’s online orders, according to a statement on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter.
