By Walt Hickey Numlock recently started an Instagram, follow us there! Mr. Potato Head Canadian Tire, a department store, saw five stores unable to function for approximately an hour and a half as a programming glitch caused literally every item in the store to, when scanned by a cashier, come up as a Mr. Potato Head toy. The catastrophe struck about 7 a.m. on Monday and thanks to the tireless work of first responders in the Canadian Tire IT department was fixed shortly later that morning. Executives have ruled out foul play because there were functionally no consequences for this financially whatsoever, and considered it a glitch. Happy Canada Day.
