“Worst wipes ever! The material of the wipe is terrible. It was not that bad before. They obviously tried to reduce the cost and the wipe itself is so slippery on the face that you cannot perform a cleansing job. I really wonder....did these "bright" minds who designed it ever checked the quality? Did they try it to see how bad it is on the skin? I will never buy it again!”

“The veg has a short shelf Life I'm throwing it away very quickly in some cases next day bought potatoes twice that had bad potatoes amongst them I opened a tub of their drinking chocolate yesterday and the paper lid was pulled back and half missing what's going on there This concerns me because if items get tampered with then who knows what someone could potentially contaminate it with I am in a position where I can't easily go back to the store either once I've been there to return items Hope when they open the new store they move to in Connahs Quay it will better than this On the positive side the staff on the checkouts etc are lovely”

“Pay attention to the prices!!! Coupon Red Apples 2kg (80230) 15% off today's price £3.29 with Lidl Plus. The last time I bought these apples on 28/3/2024 the price was £2.69. So the price was increased by 22.3% and then discounted by 15% if you have Lidl Plus. So they don't lose, on the contrary, you spend £0.10 more by believing you're getting the deal. Clever isn't it?”

“I shop at Burnham-on-Sea and the women at the tills are the best - the warmest, friendliest cashiers I've ever met serving the public. They work together very well as a team are very helpful to customers.”

“Lidi in general is very poorly managed there checkouts are rarely maned the staff are unhelpful The produce is getting worse - the veg has a very short shelf life The minced beef now they have changed the packaging is so badly presented and looks more like dog food - vacuumed packed into cheap bags On the whole it’s not cheap and the carpark - be very careful in there as if you get a parking ticket for whatever reason it’s £150 fine”

“Just eaten your deluxe lasagna. It was practically inedible and nothing like lasagna as I know it. I don’t know how you can sell something quite so disgusting especially calling it deluxe? Who in your team approves the purchase of this low quality food that damages your company’s image so badly. Suggest they tasta food from Charlie Brigham. Will not return to Lidl until I hear things improve dramatically. You can contact me on 01403 700847. D D that damages yo”

“The worst experience ever at the Lidl… The worst experience ever at the Lidl London E6 6JF. Paid at the self checkout with my debit card by entering my PIN, there was no receipts as there was a fault on their system and I asked for one. Manager named Thushi went to get one, after 10 min he came back and said there is no any payment on the system, he was very rude accusing me of trying to steal groceries without making a payment despite I’m shopping at the same store every Saturday. He and another woman manager told me to get out of the store by calling security. I left without my groceries, without my money and was verbally abused in the front of all shoppers. Now I’m chasing the customer service for the refund because of their faulty system more than 10 weeks. Yesterday I received an email stating that I have got refund on the 23rd of February but I made a payment on the 24th of February that means I was refunded the day before I made a payment! It is ridiculous! I have raised an issue with my bank and have had take this matter further as I was verbally abused in this store and I have been robbed. Awful experience at the store and appalling customer service Date of experience: 24 February 2024”

“I have been left absolutely shocked by the poor quality of your nappies I bought a pack of size 4+ for my twins been told they are good quality so thought I’d give them a try Well I have gone though a pack in 2 days as with the smallest amount of urine it’s leaking through the complete nappy and onto my children’s clothes so not only have I had to change my children every 20-30 mins I have also had to use unnecessary electric to wash and dry their clothes cos a outfit change every 20-30mins is not on all because you have such poor quality”

“Lidl Oxford, Watlington Road - I wished to squeeze 1L of orange juice, but the 1L empty bottles were missing. I asked if they can refill these, but was told they don't have any. Then I asked the store manager if I could take 2x 500mL for the price of 1L (2x 500mL is more expensive than 1L). He said absolutely not and turned away. The store was not busy, I was there on Monday after 11am. I find this to be bad customer care, and I question if they do not keep 1L bottles intentionally, so people are forced to buy the more expensive version. The orange squeeze machine seems to be in bad condition and not cared about quite often in this store. The bottle holder is broken for quite a few weeks and oranges are not refilled and a bin for cleaning tissue is missing.”

“LIDL is no longer worth wasting a journey to do your shopping at. The level of frustration from long queues, broken self service machines and constant stock shortages means you are better off just going to a mainstream supermarket where you can easily get everything in one stop. LIDL did have a compelling argument several years ago, but especially since Covid, improving price and quality competition from other retailers has left them trailing. Farewell LIDL, you tried, but failed. Here's the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak... In January, I bought a pack of rechargeable AA batteries for use in my cycle lights, but didn't try to use them until February. When I did, I discovered that they were too large and were such a tight fit, that it would be impossible to remove them for recharging, so I rushed back to LIDL and demonstrated the size difference with other batteries from several well known brands. The reason the LIDL batteries are oversized appears to be because they have been dressed up with a glittery paper(?) covering, in order to make them more appealing. In fact, the covering has already started to come off, after trying to fit them in my lights. LIDL agreed that they were larger than the Duracell and other batteries I brought in to demonstrate and agreed that they did not fit into the battery compartment I also brought in to demonstrate, but they were not interested in refunding me, 'Because it was more than 28 days since the sale - and that is the law,' or words to that effect. I explained that they were not applying the Consumer Rights Act 2015 correctly, but they were not interested. For the record, my rights are: 0-30 days: You can claim a full refund for goods that are of unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described. 30 days-six months: You must give the retailer one opportunity to repair or replace it before you can claim a refund. Six months or longer: You must give the retailer one opportunity to repair or replace it before you can claim a partial refund, and the burden of proof is on you to prove the product is faulty. If you'd prefer a repair or replacement in the first 30 days you can ask the retailer, but it cannot refuse to give you a refund. The bottom line is, I will be giving LIDL a wide berth from now on. In any case, as mentioned above, I'm sick of the long queues, broken self service machines and constant stock issues - and unhelpful staff.”

“Halifax road sheffield. Filthy baskets. Bread bags not big enough to get loaf fully in. Therefore loaf hanging out into filthy basket. Will not use this store again.”
