The Co-op was forced to scramble to fix a problem with contactless payments at dozens of its stores, as it grapples with the fallout from a cyber-attack that has left gaps on shelves.
The food retailer said that up to 200 of its 2,300 stores across the UK had been affected by an issue with its contactless payment systems on Tuesday morning but said the problem had been fixed in all stores by mid-afternoon.
