A self-scan glitch at supermarket giant Tesco has seen some shoppers slashing their basket costs. One customer scanned £500-worth of food for £100.
Sharing the discovery on a popular Facebook group page, some shoppers claimed they'd found their totals were in the minus figures due to the glitch. Birmingham Live reported that this Tesco shopper ended up with a total of -£150.75 on just seven items. The customer claims that they were able to check out despite this clearly inaccurate sum. They said: “I didn’t think it would work - I was sure it would autocorrect at checkout. Massive glitch on self serve."
Others have had similar experiences but say the calculation corrected itself. One Tesco shopper said: "This happened to me on a shop. Got over £500 worth in the trolley but came up at just under £100, corrected at self scan and I asked why but they had no idea as to why it was scanning that way." The shopper added: "They scanned everything again on a different scanner and it still came up cheap but they said they couldn't let me have it. So I just said I no longer wanted it."
