Tills broke down at
Tesco this morning after an overnight software update caused
problems with the system.
Customers in some shops could only use the self-service tills
after the Sunday-night update caused many of the main tills to go
down.
IT staff are currently working on the problem and a spokesman
said the tills are starting to come back up.
The glitch affected stores around the country. Tesco says it
does not know what caused the problem but said the work that caused
it was "routine".
A spokesman said, "A number of stores were affected by a routine
IT upgrade this morning at various locations in the country. Our
experts are fixing the problem as we speak in the meantime we are
very sorry for the delay and thank customers for their
patience."
