The only thing that surprises me in this thread is how everyone thinks everyone else and every shop is the same as them,/theirs
Some people are slow shoppers some fast, some Lidl have paid car parks some don't. Some are huge some are small Some have good self service machines others have crap (mine) ones
My lidl is one of the new huge ones where they knocked the large one down to rebuild , so yes you could spend a lot of time in there, it has two very long isle of specials like clothing or tools and kitchen gadgets.
We don't pay for parking there nor do the other supermarkets there. as there is nothing else other than shops.. but the next lot of shops you do have to pay as its right in town and right near the station and other places where people took the pee and parked all day and so now we all have to pay.
I have never yet been in any other supermarket where they have NOT asked if I want help with packing.. its very robotic and drives me mad.. So seems very odd that one person here no mater the shop has never been offered help .
I like lidl as the meat and veg are always tastier than the other shops. The veg is always local if they are in season.
The only thing I dislike about my local lidl is, no white lines on the roadways ( they have them on the spaces) Its really scary as no one seems to have any idea how to drive without the white lines telling them.
I did hear the local governments were going to do away with the white lines on roads to save money. I hope they never do this as I can see death in the 1000s everyday as so many have no idea how to drive without them.
