Pricing system glitch forces multiple New World stores to shut temporarily

New World supermarkets across New Zealand are dealing with a pricing system malfunction that has caused at least two stores—one in Auckland's Takapuna and another on Willis Street in Wellington—to close their doors. Other outlets have turned off self-service checkouts while staff verify every price tag. Signage at the Mt Roskill store explains that a system update has not been applied, resulting in outdated specials and missing promotional prices. The Willis Street store also posted a notice that the team is working to fix the issue. The situation remains ongoing.
