A national supermarket chain has released an update after shoppers reported being turned away due to IT issues.
Multiple people took to social media this morning (September 30) to complain that the tills were reportedly not working in Asda branches around the UK, meaning the stores could not open.
One said: “Just got back from my usual Monday morning trip to Asda - soaked to the skin, and with no shopping.
“Their useless new till system that has never worked properly at my local branch is down and the store cannot open.”

Their useless new till system that has never worked properly at my local branch is down and the store cannot open.
It’ll be fun if it’s a nationwide problem!

An Asda spokesperson has now said: "Some of our stores opened later than planned this morning due to a technical issue affecting checkouts.
“This has now been resolved and we apologise to customers for any inconvenience caused."
They confirmed as well as the Watford store, several others were affected nationwide including Stockton-on-Tees, Telford and Dunfermline in Scotland.
