Need a receipt? Tesco trials paperless till system

Supermarket tests contactless system that could do away with those crumpled till receipts lining your pocket

Pockets and handbags stuffed with streams of crumpled receipts could become a thing of the past if an experiment by Tesco takes off.

Britain's biggest retailer is testing a contactless system that sends proof of purchase to the customer's smartphone. Tesco is staging the three-month trial at its store in Harlow, Essex.
