When Marks & Spencer bosses decided to cut the sell-by date of its sandwiches from three days to two last year, there were some who questioned whether it was entirely necessary.
M&S is the latest grocer to face issues with its online services.
LONDON (Reuters) -British retailer Marks & Spencer apologised to customers on Saturday after its website and app went offline for several hours because of a "technical issue". The company said the outage was due to a third-party service provider experiencing a "technical issue" and apologised to customers "for the inconvenience caused." In March, Sainsbury's, Britain's No. 2 supermarket group, apologised to customers after it couldn't fulfil online orders.
