The boss of Tesco today warned customers are having to terminate their food shop at the checkout because they cannot afford to eat.
John Allan, the chairman of Tesco, said customers have been asking staff to stop scanning their grocery shop once their bill hits a certain amount because of the cost of living squeeze.
It comes a day after a report found 7.3 million adults now fall under the ‘food-insecure’ bracket and two million routinely skip meals because they cannot afford to eat.
