Honestly people rave about Aldi / Lidl etc. but what you get there is a dirty, cluttered shop crammed with cut quality products and overworked, outright rude staff who are more concerned with hastily stacking the shelves right infront of you and then barreling past you to a checkout when summoned than they are with getting in customers' way without so much as an acknowledgement let alone an apology.

"My cage full of stuff is infront of the thing you want? Well tough **** sir my manager will fire me if I don't get all these eggs out and back behind the till within 45 seconds"

"Oh you weren't finished piling your stuff back into the trolley to pack over by the window? Well sorry, here comes a flood of the next person's stuff!"

Yuck. Race to the bottom.

You are so right about aldi and Lidl, it’s the worst experience might as well be throwing it of the back of truck, I been in Lidl about four times for a couple of bits, I always say it’s a third world shop.

Brexit is really showing off her positives isn’t she?

My brother had a Tesco’s insurance policy and was with them for years, had 11 years no claimes bonus, half way through his policy one year he got a newer car but same engine size.

When is renewal came through it went from 450 to just under a thousand, I rang them and said this can’t be right what are going to do about it?, she said nothing!,that’s the quote, I said about no claims same engine she can’t do anything!

I said what about customer loyalty and she said I change my insurance every year you should do the same.

So he left and got same cover for 350, over 600 less then they wanted
