“Went to pick in Taunton arrived around 10am no one waiting by the door I parked in a disabled bay no cones in the way I have health issues hence disabled bay is needed a member of staff came out said you can't park there I asked if it's possible to Park in mother and toddler bay as it's wider and near the door he said no park at the other end of the car park ovously disabled people are not needed there I said I'll use another store and left I haven't gone back.
If the store manager looked at his planed Kew he'd see it was inadequate, you face the door's entrance to The right exit to the left, disabled Bay's to the left mother and toddler Bay's to the right, it would make coming sense to have entrance Kew on the right, to keep the exit on the left clear, it would also allow us disabled to park and be able to get food .
I have trouble walking and standing for any length of time, hence need wide bay to open door to allow me to exit, it's close to the entrance needed as can't walk far, you should teach your staff in the are of understanding the health and safety on entering and exiting the store, also it might make us the disabled feel less unwanted in your stores. At least Asda and Tesco's let me Park in the Bay's allocated for the disabled customer's.”
“Bought a Parkside Greenhouse £39.99. Waited until the winds died down for 6 weeks. Managed to follow the basic instructions and assembled it. Within 2 days a puff of wind blew it over and it is in bits again on the floor. The securing pegs and string totally inadequate. Very disappointed with this product. Complete waste of money. It would be more secure with matchsticks.”
“Have never been treated so badly from a member of staff at a brand new Lidl, who shockingly turned out to be the manager. In these times when we should be kind to one another more than ever, this particular individual should be ashamed of themselves.”
“Yesterday Lidl sensibly limiting customers in, and then only essential workers from 7.30am with ID. That's a good idea, but the manager let in her friends who I know are unemployed, they then went onto load up their trollies.
I can't see anything on website about new shopping hours, it's needs to be published, and then customers can challenge staff who are abuxing it.”
“What do you mean what went wrong, well your brand of Newgate Soups are now watered down & are tasteless, it's a shame was a good product until a week ago, second tin I opened of Carrot & Coriander but again it was like water not like the ones before. You have made a nice product into a rubbish one.”
“Why have your Newgate doors been watered down the are now tasteless. You haven't lowered the price in fact the prices have gone up. Your range of Newgate soup is now rubbish, low quality & tasteless.
Opened a tin of Carrot & Coriander soup last night it was like eating brown water discussing taste.
Well you ruined a nice range of soups. Better look for a new brand.”
“On the 22nd January I bought a 180g pack of cold water prawns from Lidl and it only contained 159g of prawns . Tweets and emails to customer services and a request from them for my email address, which I supplied remain unanswered.
I also contacted customer services by telephone on 27th February and was assured that I would receive a response within 10 days. I did not.
I purchased another pack this week and that only had 163grams of prawns.
I rang again today and was assured I would receive a response by the end of today. I am not surprised that I didn't.
No contact, other than requesting my email address, from them in 7 weeks.”

“Kireen manager in grosshill swindon he has no respect to customers asking for to pay for 1 pistecio price of full pack I paid for it he started argument besides this there was so many pistecio on the floor manager is not bothered about that at all.”
“Lidl currently building their new HQ in Tolworth/Surbiton road works causing mayhem & chaos to locals.Not a good impression, already a nightmare neighbour.There are no Lidl or Aldi stores in the area.Aldi you would be more than welcome.”
“The car park is not safe. I had a puncture in a tyre when leaving because it was so dirty. Then I over stayed waiting for someone to fix the tyre. When I received the parking notice I went to complain, Poor customer service I got mixed messages from members of staff, from one side it was possible to canceI the ticket from another side I was told is not possible I have to contact the parking company directly. Then I asked to see the manager. I was told to wait for the manager who was in a "meeting " in a lidl backroom??? For 40 mins, I waited for an hour but he never came and the body language of members of staff showed they were lying there was something fishy. "No help". Anyway just be aware what to expect when you drive to shop in ldl. Customer service 👎👎👎”
“I purchased a turkey at lidl with a sell by date of 26th dec. When i went to cook it it was rancid and slimy. No xmas dinner for my family this year . Thank you lidl. They refunded my money and customer services were apologetic and promised to send me some vouchers as my day was ruined ! A month later and they have duly arrived. 15 pounds was all my distress was worth to them. Needless to say i will not be shopping there anytime soon”
“My mother purchased a stand alone oven a few years ago. By chance on moving it we discovered that it had burnt a huge hole in the wooden work surface. It could have set the house in fire. Lidl’s response is that they do not know what happened, apparently it should not be placed on the standard wooden surfaces you buy at bbq although the instructions do not say so, and they will do nothing to compensate or warn users. Please beware of the silver crest oven. I am reporting the matter to trading standards. This is a fire waiting to happen.”
“Rancid turkey at Christmas. Returned receipt to customer service but just sent. £15 voucher. The turkey cost more. Why do I want vouches when I will not shop there again. Very poor customer service. Sent a letter with receipt but no reply for over two weeks so telephoned. Hence the vouchers! Terrible service. Can’t rate star as not working. They have enough one star most probably.u”
“I have not had bad experiences as a customer at Lidl - have been shopping there for several years spending c £2,000 per year - but, after reading the numerous reports of poor contracts and working conditions for Lidl employees, I've decided to stop shopping there.”
“The store is a disgrace!!
Keep away by any means!!!
They not even openly don't care once so ever about the customers,
they openly spit in your face!!
They have subcontracted out the car park to a company, who have done everything in they power, to extract extortionate sums of money from customers, who are unaware of the arrangement.
On the top of that, they don't even know whats a meaning of customer service is!!
Absolutely terrible store and a company overall.
1* rating is much to high, as they deserve -5*
AWOID BY ANY MEANS!!!”
“I visited the new Lidl in Witham Essex today. I emptied my small trolley and moved level with the assistant. She asked if I’d got anything else in my trolley. I looked at her quizzically as I didn’t understand what she meant. It then ‘clicked’ - she was asking if I’d got anything left in my trolley which I was hiding under my carrier bags (I actually didn’t put the bags in the trolley until it was empty!) I told the young lady that I was insulted to be accused of stealing. She was very apologetic and said she had to do it ! I felt embarrassed and humiliated. I asked to speak to a manager. He told me that some people were walking out of the shop without paying for items - I responded by telling him that I didn’t steal, and it was disgraceful! I don’t know of any other supermarket which carries out this humiliating practice.
Suffice it to say, I will never visit Lidl again! Having spoken to family, friends and work colleagues about the incident, they too will not be visiting Lidl!”
“Good afternoon OnSaturday 23rd November 2019 ,I visited the new Lidl in Harrow and I had a unpleasant experience eg- health and safety was far from right there was only one fire exit and there not enough cash tills people where getting frustrated and having arguments. too many people where entering the premises when there was no room and the security didn’t look professional.I have left this review to inform you about my experience thank you”
