Tesco customers have been left furious after having to wait hours in a virtual queue to secure a Christmas delivery slot.
This morning the supermarket released slots for the week starting 21 December - but only to their delivery saver customers who pay a subscription fee.
The Tesco website states: 'So that we can help as many customers as possible, our priority delivery slots will have an 8-hour delivery window – either from 10am to 6pm or 2pm to 10pm. Someone else said: 'So cross with Tesco. Had priority Christmas delivery booking which opened at 1 min past midnight. Logged on, booked slot, went to payment and then told site was closed as.
But after waking up to log on at 7am, many complained they had still not been given a slot after two-and-a-half hours of waiting.

While some were given slots after a long wait, others were unsuccessful and forced to shop for their Christmas dinner supplies elsewhere.
Those who did manage to book complained festive essentials like turkeys were not yet available.
There was also no mention of people on the government's vulnerable list, who are entitled to priority delivery slots because of coronavirus.

Craps horn high yo payout chart. Horn High and World Bets Horn high and world bets are for $5 increments. When you bet a horn high 12, $2 is on the number 12 and $1 is on 2, 3 and 11. You have to call out 'Horn High' and choose where that extra dollar goes (2, 3, 11 or 12). To double up on the 11, for example, the bet is 'horn, high yo.' 'Yo' is used rather than 11, because 11 sounds too much like 'seven,' and craps players are superstitious like that. With a 'horn, high yo,' $1 is put in 2, 3 and 12, and $2 goes on 11. A 'horn, high 12' bet puts the $2 on 12 and $1 on the other numbers. Essentially, this bet includes snake eyes, boxcars, yo and ace-deuce. The actual odds of winning the horn bet are 5:1. The payout odds are a little more complicated though. Typically, the house pays 27:4 if the shooter rolls a 2 or 12, and the house pays 3:1 odds if a 3 or 11 is rolled.
They apologised for the inconvenience and claimed home delivery and click and collect slots are still available for the Christmas period.
