Cash register crisis at Guam's K-Mart

A major driver in Guam's tourist economy went down Thursday afternoon, as K-Mart's system for reaping that loot failed. Patient tourists and other shoppers waited for nearly an hour and a half until the registers went back on line.

Less patient shoppers started abandoning carts of potential purchases, which the store was busy putting back on the shelf.
