Lidl Midland Way Nottingham -
Needs competent management.... Friday 4.50 p.m 16th November -two checkouts open plus self service - long queues.
5.10 pm finished shopping and all three queues now reach halfway along store length - still only two checkouts open - two staff talking to each other near self service queue plus a guy hovering near a closed checkout...
Didn't want to grow old waiting and left trolley of shopping. Asked security guard outside the store if there was a shortage of staff and a male member of staff standing alongside smoking a cigarette said 'No mate - there will be more staff on soon!
Soon wasn't quick enough for us - we did our shopping at Aldi just up the road - very quick with six checkouts open. This store is fine but this level of service is happening more frequently nowadays..... and bear in mind if arriving by car - park between the lines and not over them as there is a guy with a camera who will arrange for you to be fined the equivalent of a weeks shopping - Lidl of course deny its anything to do with them
