TESCO customers are fuming as contactless payments are down at UK supermarkets.
All types of the supposedly easier way of paying – including Apple Pay – are not currently working.

Reports suggest other supermarket giants, such as Sainsbury’s and Aldi, are also experiencing the same outage.
One Tesco customer raged: “No contactless payment in Tesco, utter garbage first world problem. I JUST WANT MY CHEESE.”
Another said: “Just witnessed everyone walk out of Tesco at once and go to a cash machine because their card machines are down. Help me.”
A third tweeted: “Obviously on the ONE day I forget my purse and have an urgent thing to buy… the ENTIRE Tesco contactless system goes down so I can’t use my Apple Pay.”
Tesco has since apologised for the inconvenience.
A Tesco Spokesperson told The Sun: “We have now fixed a technical issue that briefly impacted some of our stores earlier this evening.
“We are sorry for the inconvenience.”
