Greggs, a popular bakery chain in the UK, has been forced to close some of its stores or switch to cash-only transactions due to a widespread IT glitch affecting card payments. The issue, which mirrors recent technical problems faced by other major retailers such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, and McDonald's, has caused significant disruption across the country. Reports indicate that the technical difficulties began on Wednesday morning, leading to the temporary closure of several Greggs outlets. The company has acknowledged the problem, stating it is experiencing issues with accepting payments. Efforts to resolve the IT glitch seem to be underway, with a majority of the affected stores reportedly beginning to accept card payments again.
