“Not UK Lidl but Slovakia doesn't have a review site for Lidl.
They sell rotten parmesan cheese. This happened few times already. Well under the expiry date. Once the package is opened, one can immediately tell this is what is happening. And it's not cheap either. If they are capable of selling rotten cheese to people, I'm not certain what else they are capable of. I don't trust them anymore. Slovak state food regulatory body should pay them a visit a impose a hefty fine on them for such practices. MINUS 100 STARS”
“I’ve been to Lidl near Blackpool yesterday and I’ve got a bone of lamb I’ve opened the packet and it didn’t smell good so we’ve cooked it thinking nothing about it and we had it in the oven between 2 to 2 and half hours and after pulling it out the oven letting cool over night came to prepare it today for dinner and it smelled Evan awful so we looked at the packet and and it was covered with terminated blood so we went to take it back explained to the lady at the till and blood spilled on the cover belt so she had to stop other customers from putting anything on the cover belt as it’s terminated also the manager came out so we got hour money back for it so I’ll never again shop at Lidl or Aldi”
“Ridiculous staff workers-managers. New Hall Lane,Preston, Uk. You put your stuff on belt-next minutes-sorry till just closet now -even if it’s not been showing closet.What a bag of s..t attitude.”
“Worst Store ever (SLOUGH), poor customer services, rude arrogant managers, treat customers and staff so poorly it has never heard of or seen before.
Savings are not worth it, as the cost of these savings are being paid by workers who are regularly overworked and treated like animals, and customers who are constantly insulted at the checkouts. Manager does not talk, he just barks! unbelievable they are surviving and getting away with this in a civilised society or may be poor has no entitlement to be treated with respect. An awful shopping experience. LIDL shame on you for penny pinching and shameful practices. SLOUGH manager should be named and shamed, he takes no responsibility of his actions. Please make your voices heard or they will continue this awful behaviour.”
“2019
If you are desperate for some cash then it is an easy job (once you figure out for yourself how everything works as the training is terrible).
When I worked there the staff were very rude and I heard a lot of them saying horrible things about new people behind their backs. It then makes you wonder what they have said about you.
Staff who have been there for years get away with talking for ages (sometimes up to half an hour) whilst others have to pick up the slack and get told off for even speaking to another colleague.
The staff turnover here is unbelievable too. You'd think they would makes some changes, but no.
Not the place to work if you value your sanit
The management it's treating people like a rubbish.”
“Visited lidl last week and ask one of their staff members where their tinned beans are and no one could seem to help me locate where they were, which left me really upset.”
“Used their store for the first time. Bought loads as I work 70+ hours a week and got behind on shopping. Later on I looked at my receipt. They charged me for 38 bags of crisps when I bought one!!!! Didn't notice as I'd spent a fortune. Numerous emails back and forth and a letter arrives with a refund for the 37 bags I'd been overcharged. No explanation. I explained I am ridiculously busy and haven't got time to go back to the store. Still trying to sort it. Wouldn't recommend one bit. Spent time trying to sort this when I have better things to do.”
“I bought some tins of stewed steak for a pie. It was completely inedible and had to throw it all away, just full of fat & gristle and big chunks of lard. I would say more appropriate to dog food, but i wouldn't even give it to my dog. I had 3 tins because i always like to have a stock of this kind of thing in the winter, opened all 3 tins and exactly the same. Disgusting for Lidl who are usually very good. Ugh!”
“Every time (I think three times) I visit Lidl there is always a bad mouth customer service person ready to ruin your day. My conclusion is the assistants themeselves have the inferior complex about the Lidl itself and it is reflected on their behaviour and externalised on customers. They see customers as cheap as cheap as their own perception towards Lidl. Awful experience, never again rather pay more than ruining my day by going there. Cheap store cheap attitudes.”
“I went to the Lidl in Harwich to pick up a newspaper and have a look around - a soul-destroying experience. Poor range of food, the centre of the store filled with bins of tat, only one till open with no express option. When I finally got served, I was told they don’t accept my Times voucher. Truly dreadful.”
“Went to lidl, the one next to outdoor persuits centre,Leicester,then a man was cutting past a worker who was putting up bananas, with a trolley he went past a worker and the worker raged at him saying "oy! You can go around me or if you don't understand how to do that get out the shop the doors are there". The man was foreign and clearly did not under stand what went wrong while the worker screamed at him. The till man was rude and did not want to say manners.both of them did not care for the coustomers, they wanted us to buy something or get out. The worst thing was they were the only ones in the shop in charge and clearly should learn how to run a shop.the till man reported to the rage man that some one came through the exit and he immidietly removed him and let out a big tut. We were fed up and scared so we left. Next time I will go somewhere more friendly and calm.”
“Purchased "premium turkey" 22nd dec. Opened it to cook on 26th found to be foul smelling and rotten. In the bin. Went to Sainsbury's to buy another. Will never go back.
Most unsatisfactory £45 I have ever spent.”
“I need to refer to the unfriendly attitude of some of the staff at #lidl in Leamington Spa, Myton road. A view shared by many friends, I know ,,,no hello ,,no thank you !!!! Not like other supermarkets staff. They need customer service training. behaving rudly sometimes with customer’s , including passing snappy remarks as though your very presence deeply inconveniences them..That certainly put many of the shoppers off.”
“I purchased Thermal Jeggings in a size larger than I normally wear. They were much too small. I lost my receipt and took them back to the store where I was told to ring Customer Service. I was told that the size guide is on the website!! HELLO! Who checks online before a purchase??? I was told that without a receipt I could not return them or get a credit. Company policy not to accept any returns without a receipt. Am I to believe that I am the first person to have lost the receipt. So now I am out of pocket for a badly labelled clothing item. I am very unhappy.”
“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”
“Disgraceful. Was in the new lidl in Bulwell Nottingham. The place is dangerous. Cut my head on a sharp piece of metal on a shelf. Reported it to a nearby assistant. Had a poor no care attitude.
Disgusting”
