Prices are good and they have interesting food sometimes. The minced beef is full of water whereas the frozen prawns have very little compared to a lot of shops that have loads of water and very little prawns. A few of the staff at Broadstairs are helpful and polite, one of them even says hello to regular shoppers but there are many that are very rude to customers. They talk to each other while serving customers; I have witnessed one arguing with a customer over whether something had been discounted or not. The way to do it would be to ask a colleague to assist the customer, for the colleague to go to the shelf where the customer saw the discount and deal with the issue politely. Lidl's training must be awful!

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

Love the bakery at the new Lidl at Town St. Stanningley, and it is my reason for going. However, the last two weeks the shelves at the bakery have been almost empty. No croisants or pastries. Limited bread rolls. No paper bags to put bread in so they supply rolls of plastic veg bags - (for the past two weeks ) Come on Lidl, this is a new store. Pull your socks up or we won't be back. No fresh bakery then no customers!

Excellent idea to introduce the fruit and veg boxes for £1:50 Brilliant for pies/soups/casserols.

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.

I was walking in Lidl and my head was suddenly struck by a baguette, it flew itself claimed staff but i know for a fact it was a prank from an employee. I ignored it and forgot about it until a steak pie was smashed off the back of my head, then i ran out the store and was immediately abducted by aliens shouting Mon eh selik.

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 visit my local store in LEEDS Amberton road at least three time per week. I have mentioned to at least 2 managers and the security staff on site that disable parking bays are constantly being used by none disabled users. Bays are being occupied by non disabled persons (or not showing the entitlement to use the bays by displaying their blue badge) the answer was we can't monitor the bays because we are very busy I will ask the security people to have a little wander out if they see anything ,(the security staff are quite happy just to stand in the store out of the cold and when i have pointed outto them people abusing the bays ,it has prompted no action from them . The last manager i spoke to which was yesterday 15/02/2019 he told me we don't own the land so the car parks are nothing to do with us (quite different answer from Lidl customer services (Dough)apparently car parks are theirs but he's answer was "we are a very busy discount store and we don't have the time to police the parking ,we rely on the honesty of the customers to not use the bays if they aren't entitled to do so, however i will pass it on to senior management the same with the toilets " the reason he mentioned the toilets is because i have asked now and at for at least two moths about the public and disabled toilets which have been closed off out of action. They now have had display shelving put over the doorways, When i asked the managers and i have asked security when the toilets are likely to be repaired i get the answer,they will be fixed when they send someone and i was told to contact their customer services which i did yesterday, The experience was a bit better than the one in the store but the underlying feeling i got from all concerned was one of not interested
