UPDATE: 6:00 p.m. ― Issues with the credit card system at Macy’s stores have been resolved, a company spokesperson told HuffPost in a statement. “The delays we experienced this afternoon were due to a capacity-related issue that caused some transactions to take longer to process,” the statement read. “We do not anticipate any additional delays.”PREVIOUSLY:As if Black Friday weren’t already stressful enough, shoppers are saying that Macy’s, the major department store chain, appears to be experiencing credit and debit card system problems around the United States. While dozens of Macy’s shoppers on social media said they weren’t able to pay at all, the company downplayed the problems in a statement to HuffPost. Since it’s common for people not to carry much cash, that meant many shoppers effectively couldn’t pay at all.
