For those unaware, Tesco is one of the largest supermarket chains in the UK, if not the largest.

Edit: They also have international operations, but sometimes under different names. In the US they are "Fresh & Easy" according to Wikipedia.

Yes, largest with just over 30% market share.

In Prague they are still called 'Tesco', but the UK Loyalty card doesn't scan, shoots an error message instead, and you find yourself explaining in terrible Czech why you even tried to scan it.
