Bug shuts tills at 100 Tesco stores
Kiran Randhawa11.05.09
The tills at 100 Tesco supermarkets went down today with problems reported in Essex, Buckinghamshire, North Wales and Northern Ireland.
Customer Jenny Turner was at the Saffron Walden store. She said: “Nothing was running at all. I gave up and went to Asda.”
Tesco said the spread of a computer bug appeared to be “quite random” but it did not affect self-service checkouts. A spokeswoman added: “We had an IT update overnight, which has affected a minority of our stores. They have had to reboot the tills. We have heard of plenty of instances where stores have rectified the problem. We apologise to customers.”
