In other news, I've received a brand new set of Tesco Loyalty Card
keyfobs, which they claim are a vast improvement over the old ones.

Except the old ones were recognised by their self-service tills and -
CAN YOU EVEN START TO BELIEVE THIS - the new one's aren't.

It's way beyond "you couldn't make this up".

That's interesting. I've received them too, but have yet to use them.

They've at least fitted newer barcode scanners on the self-service till
I used yesterday (different branch of Tesco).

And today, at the petrol station attached to the latter Tesco, with
brand new pumps installed a couple of months ago... yes, they don't work
with the new fobs. weeps
