If you have a full trolley full of goods and the person behind has a handful of items then it's only courteous to allow them through before you. I ALWAYS do this where necessary regardless of the shop I'm in.

These customers never asked or was asked you can go in front

It's because someone has pressed the "Expired" button next to the Post Reply button.

Was the nasty, hidden reason why Aldi/Lidl are cheaper that they were selling there unsuspecting customers.... HORSE MEAT instead of beef?

It's always amusing when someone uses their 2 size 10s to post something that unwittingly supports my argument.

Unlike, Sainsbury, Morrisons, Asda, Waitrose, Co-Op, Budgens etc etc

Er.. no.

Asda, Co-op, Tesco's & Sainsbury's...

ANYWAY, Going forward lots in the papers about the multiples fighting back.... its going to be an interesting few years

It's just propaganda. The big stores cannot compete with Aldi & Lidl, the two business models are completely different.

The queues. My Dad walked to the one about 10 mins from both our homes about three weeks ago. Whilst queuing, three customers who are shopping together buying 2-4 items each just pushed in the queue.

Well, I've never seen that happen in literally thousands of visits.

Meat from aldi is fine apart from the diced lamb, which can be quite fatty

Aldi's Earl grey tea is very nice. Also the sandwich thins taste the same as brand leaders.

I actually prefer it that way, as it means that the animal is not a baby lamb...and I drain the fat and use it to roast potatoes in as a Sunday treat (no need to buy expensive duck fat!)
