Everyone there wouldn't be so dumb as to consume their own food.
The latest comp.risks (Risks) article contains several explanations for the
outage.
Why anyone would design such a system to knowingly incapacitate a store's

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.
