Lidl — Attraction in San Bartolomé de Tirajana

Great little supermarket, just hidden away. Visiting Lidl in Gran Canaria was just like visiting Lidl in England, with a very similar layout including the famous ‘middle aisle’ of special buys. Along with all the essentials Lidl usually stock, there was a couple of surprises including Heinz baked beans.

The struggled to get the cashier system working smoothly, the employees are all trainees on the first day, and there is no sign of “Sorry.” Anywhere. Just make sure you don’t buy ice cream. It’s going to melt before you’ve the chance to pay for it.

Just to be clear: This is not a one-time experience here but the exact same experience 3 times in 7 days.

My recommendation to buyers: Go somewhere else close - like Mercadonna. Recommendation to owners: Get professional and train your employees. Waiting for 20 minutes in a row with only 2 people in front of me is truly...
