apart from the fact that at 3p they are a rip off

has anyone noticed they are getting smaller and smaller

I know I should take my own, I always forget but im starting to remember as I hate being made a mug of

also the trolleys there are now like chariots takes me all my time to push and empty one let alone a full one

    I get told off for packing my shopping into bags at the till.

    "You're supposed to do it over there, away from the till >:( >:( >:( "

    yes but they dont tell me off anymore

    Im not slow but this one in partic at our liddl is like billy whiz
    she swings the trolley round to face the other way and off she goes and as Im packing at the till she huffs and puffs and then one day said to me

    you pack over there not here

    so I said WHOA
    I have just struggled around this shop as I have a back injury (which I did at the time),and I have loaded the trolley then Ive stood in the interminable queue that is always present and emptied the trolley onto the belt

    now you want me to empty it again over there into carrier bags

    NO YOUR NOT ON they do it to my mum and shes 78 her shopping is whizzing past her and she cant pack that fast so we have to empty the trolly once again into bags

    strange though that in spain non of that happens

    doesnt that tell you something

    And how are you supposed to know how many carrier bags you need if you can't pack them at the till?

    I know! In our Lidl, the bags are under the counter at the front of the till. So if you need more, you have to ask 2 people to move their trollies so you can get to them. Then you get more dirty looks.

    farm foods are the best for bags

    not for staff or customer service mind

    just for bags

    as for prices why dont they just give the stuff away?? ;D ;D

    I always mean to take my own but i nearly always forget

    but that doesnt detract from the tiny bags and the cost of 3p a bag when its a rip off pure and simple

    other than the queues at the check outs and the bags

    I love liddl as well

    much cheaper and better service in liddles abroad though

    If you like broken goods,biscuits etc.......... go to the branch in Portsmouth , the idiot who served me today banged every single item down or threw it after he scanned it, eventually I said "loudly" to my other half can you pass me the Biscuits to see if the manager needs to replace them, the tattooed monkey just gave me a dirty look. I know its cheaper in there and thats why I spent £62.00 , but this kind of service is appalling. >:(

    What was the original subject ???, ho yes , carry bags, this Branch dont do them, but I did get told off :ofor putting my box on the conveyer belt whilst I was unpacking my Trolley. >:(  
    Rememember. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
    Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.
    If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance. And finally, be really nice to your family and friends; you never know
    when, You might need them to empty your bedpan.
