    Good guy Lidl?

    They do seem to try and buck the trend of other supermarkets quite a bit. German companies also tend to focus on long term growth over short term profits more than most. I would assume this is an attempt to garner goodwill and gain a loyal customer base. Lidl have been the underdog for a long time but they’ve been eating up market share and perhaps think it’s about time to try and flex their muscles a bit and get a surge of new customers, goodwill, and loss leader profits all at the same time.

    Considering they’re a capitalist megacorp I do find them to be far more reasonable than their competition.

    Tesco have created a caste system between those who have and don’t have a clubcard.

    Sainsburys, Morrison’s, and Asda treat everyone like a thief with facial recognition cameras and barriers everywhere.

    Aldi pump everything with so much palm oil I feel it dripping out my pores.

    Lidl are the only major supermarket to still treat their customers with a modicum of respect.

      Regarding Tesco’s. If you’ve a screenshot of a pal’s card’s barcode thay should work just as well as having a card yourself. If you find yourself needing to use them.
