    Fat Wallet Tescos glitches are very random sometimes only working certain stores such as Extra, Express, Metro etc or sometimes area specific or country specific! Thats what is being said!

    This happened with the jellies and custard! Some stores fixed it manually and others let it run!

    Nobody is being moaning minnies!
    ?????

    If it is fixed by the store then it has BEEN A NATIONWIDE GLITCH has it not?

    I only have an express store and glitches dont work the same on their tills

    I think you will find the smaller stores get a glitch done once to them, most times by people just buying the glitch items and making it stand out so they fix it quicker than the bigger stores where most times most people,not some of the grabbers this site seems to attract can hide the glitches better with other shopping etc but it is still a nationwide deal on everyday items. Then it is luck if you get the first like when the staff remove the SEL that is all. The codes and the glitches ARE ALL THE SAME ON ALL TESCO SITES UNTIL A SHOP OVERRIDES THEIR OWN STORE and on the bigger money items informs head office etc:o

    If my local store had 5 tv's on offer to get rid of cheap it is Not a nationwide offer

    If my store has crisp and batteries that ALL stores sell and there is a glitch even if the store in the town next to mine fix it.It is still a nationwide glitch

    I'm not missing the point or the crisp or the batteries, too many doubting minnies on this site. If it's a popular everyday item like still for sale crisp and batteries etc it will be nationwide as the same bar codes will go through the same system tills as ALL the tesco's :o

    You would imagine that would be how it works but not at tesco. I have 2 stores close to meboth extras and glitches very often only work in 1 or the other even on the same day.
  • I want cheap crisps! I will try later but my tescos never seems to 1. have stock or 2. glitch :(

    where did i doubt the OP? i certainly am not a 'doubting minnie'!

    my original post was stating whether this glitch was nationwide or store specific.

    now let's see if this glitch is nationwide and enjoy this grabbit while we can!

    Just for information for anyone who doesn't know how operations run in large supermarkets:-

    It is not a case of one huge Tesco server that all stores run from at one fixed price and fixed offers!!!

    Each country (Scot/ NI /Eng) have different mainframes to start with, then each country can be broken down regionally too. (you will not pay the same price for a can of coke darn' south as you up' north!!) .

    Prices obviously differ from Metro/ normal store to / Express. They also differ in prce between stores. I have 3 express stores near me and they always have different prices on the same items.

    All stores can override anyprice they like but normally have to go via head office to do so.

    This is not just Tesco... the other day the cheaper area Asda near me had Frij buy one get one free priced at a pound each the one 5 miles away in the posh area had them on sale at £1.25 no bogof!


    Although the majority of offers/glitches etc tend to be nationwide, it is not always the case though.
