Tesco customers take to social media as IT glitch hits deliveries

Tesco's home delivery service has been hit by an IT glitch.

The problem was thought to be affecting more than a hundred stores and thousands of customers, many of whom were quick to vent their frustrations on Twitter.

A spokesman for Tesco said: "We’re currently experiencing an IT issue which is affecting some grocery home shopping orders. We’re working hard to fix this problem and apologise to customers for any inconvenience this may cause.”

He added that less than 10% of grocery home shopping orders have been affected.

Disgruntled customers were being offered a £10 ecoupon for the inconvenience.

At 1110 BST, Tesco shares were down 0.2% to 170.75p.
