I only went here to complain. I sent my 15yo nephew to get 2 items. The security guard followed him around the store and accused him of stealing cookies and searched his bag.

I have shopped with Lidl for many years but I have decided to shop elsewhere. I would suggest you give your staff some customer care training and remind them that we, the customer, pay their wages. I have no pleasure in leaving such an awful review but I have come to the end of my tether with...

Yeah sorry lidl, sometimes I don't plan to go shopping I just think on my way home, I'll do a big shop today only to get to the tills to find you expect me to spend over £5 on carrier bags!!! Then when I grab the basket I was using your laughable security guards get funny, telling me I can't take it out of the shop.... If I do come back then next time I'm going to hold up your queue (or you can move to another checkout) while I do 8 trips from your...
