"We'll be right with you" 22 Jan 2008

Diana Wynne spotted this "site unavailable" message on Macy's site in the run up towards Christmas...Wonder how much business they lost as a result...

(In case you're struggling to read the small text in the image above, the message says: "We'll be right with you. It's a little crowded in here right now, and to make sure everyone enjoys shopping with us, we're asking new visitors to wait here a few moments while other shoppers finish up. We'll refresh your browser and welcome you momentarily. Thanks for your patience!")
