C'mon! I bet you just made that up:-) first time of hearing about it. 

Actually, it's true, but it was Walmart.  But it was not driven by a
computer program. It was intentionally done by a Walmart employee. Walmart
claims it was an 'innocent' mistake, but I'd bet that's now a former Walmart
employee. 

It's all over the web if you care to Google it.
