Tesco customers might find themselves unable to purchase everything on their shopping list, due to a rule you may not know about.
he supermarket giant has implemented a policy preventing shoppers from buying too many of the same products in a single transaction.
Britain’s biggest supermarket chain, Tesco operates more than 2,900 branches nationwide. The retailer serves millions of consumers, with approximately 20 million households holding a Clubcard.
