Tesco to crack down on viral trend that lets shoppers get baskets of free sweets

Tesco is said to be cracking down on a viral social media trend that shoppers have been using to bag baskets of free sweets at the checkout.

Known as the "Tesco Method", the trick was shared multiple times on TikTok where hundreds of videos saw shoppers picking up some staple bags of sweets for free and sharing how others could do the same.
