Food Mountain Goes Nuts At Lidl

My daughter was buying nuts at Lidl – she put two scoops of cashews and two of brazils into one of their plastic bags (who needs to use 2 bits of plastic?) and took it to the checkout. The girl said she couldn’t sell them to her as they were not allowed to mix the nuts – which apparently have two different codes – although both sorts of nut were the same price. No amount of pleading would get the cashier to change her mind – we even offered to pay twice (still cheaper than elsewhere) so her codes would not be affected. Then my daughter said: “What will you do with that bagful now then?” “It will go in the bin,” the girl replied. I said: “Why don’t you have a sign next to the price telling people not to mix the nuts?” She just shrugged, unmoved and inflexible. What a waste.
