Tesco has brought back a popular in-store feature after 6 years, and shoppers are delighted.
Customers shared their frustration and after Tesco previously made the decision to axe its F&F changing rooms.
It was one of many supermarkets that removed their changing rooms during the pandemic, with many not re-opening them due to costs and shoplifting issues.

One customer posted on Facebook on the Bargain Lovers group to share a picture of the F&F changing rooms.
They wrote: “Changing rooms are coming back to F&F in Tesco!”
Many fellow shoppers took to the comments with excitement to see the feature back after several years.
One said: “I hope this is true.”
“Another wrote: “About time too, I think!”
A third added: “Amazing news, please fit every Tesco store with changing rooms.”
Tesco told Newsquest that it has reopened its F&F fitting rooms as part of a trial across a small number of stores.

Tesco said it will listen to customer feedback from the trial to see how it can improve future in-store services.
If you are not able to try on in-store, Tesco customers can return F&F clothing to any large store within 30 days with their proof of purchase.
Tesco confirms major change in UK supermarket ‘first’
The reintroduction of some F&F changing rooms across various Tesco stores is not the only big change recently.
The supermarket giant is also switching from barcodes to QR codes in what is a first among UK supermarkets.
The UK’s biggest grocer described the move as “one of the most revolutionary retailing improvements in decades”, which would give customers access to a host of information about products via their smartphones.

QR codes will be applied to the packaging of 13 lines of Tesco’s own-brand sausages, including Tesco Pork Sausages, Tesco Pork Chipolatas, Tesco British Pork Sausage Meat, as well as British Cumberland Sausages and British Lincolnshire Sausages.
The codes can be used to provide additional product information to customers, such as nutritional content, with shoppers being able to use them to access recipes and competitions.

Tesco said adopting the new codes would give it better information about products in stores, helping it to order more accurately and improve efficiency, reducing unnecessary waste.
In the event of product recalls, QR codes will allow retailers to identify specific batches instead of removing all items, avoiding throwing products away unnecessarily and improving availability.
Retailers will also be able to block the sale of affected items at the till and contact customers who may have purchased them.
