Self-checkout saves the day for 100 U.K. Tesco locations
May 11, 2009
Belfast Telegraph: An overnight computer glitch at around 100 Tesco locations across the U.K. Monday had shoppers flocking to unaffected self-checkout lanes. According to a statement from the supermarket giant, a few stores were forced to close and reboot their systems, but most continued conducting business, directing shoppers to cash-accepting self-checkout kiosks and manning the stations with additional staff to ensure minimal disruption.
