Oops... quite the cock up.

Clean up on Aisle six…

Someone’s made an absolute mess of stocking the shelves.

Tesco has issued an apology after a customer in a Somerset store spotted condoms stocked in the Children’s Health area.

Ollie Whittingham took to Twitter to point out the gaffe, writing:

“@Tesco you might want to revise where you place your stock in the Shepton Mallet store.”

Tesco were quick to apologise, replying:

Ollie later told the Evening Standard

“It was mid-afternoon and after spotting it in the aisle, I was a bit surprised an employee hadn’t noticed this earlier.

“I found it slightly funny because it was either an innocent mistake or someone poking a little fun at the culture of young people today.

“There were children’s health products there, Calpol, Sudocrem, all the usual children’s medicine.”
