An error which slashed the price of beer and cider led to a stampede of customers at a number of Tesco supermarkets in Scotland yesterday.
A deal offering three boxes of various alcoholic drinks for £20 was going through the tills at three for £11.
Police were called to Tesco in Greenock after heavy congestion was reported in the car park as news of the error spread quickly and customers rushed to get the deal.
A spokesman for Tesco said the pricing error was quickly spotted. He said till operators changed the prices manually until the system was corrected.

karma for charging the woman above for theft from the bins ;)
That's what I thought Annemarie.
...you called it theft. Why not punish someone for a crime?
That's one helluva sale! When can we get Tesco in the US?
