Lidl — Local services in Town of Huntington

Honestly I only come here for my mother in law she only purchases water bottles from here and I recycle them for her. Since they’re lidl brand they can only be recycled here. I dread dealing with the employees at this store. The checkout is always chaotic and the employees usually working checkout are not friendly it seems like most of them can’t be bothered. I went today and waiting on a long line bc as usual only one register is open and to redeem bottles you can only go to checkout. I get to the front and the girl is rushing to ring everyone but doesn’t even look up and starts scanning what’s on the conveyer belt. I inform her those arent my groceries and she says oh well I can’t cancel it now you’re gonna have to wait. I’ve never heard of this before but if that’s the case wouldn’t you make sure of what you’re scanning? The attitude and way she said it was so dismissive and matter of fact. I had no groceries and I have my baby in the carrier strapped to me. Maybe I wouldn’t have cared as much if she didn’t dismiss it the way she did no I’m sorry just it is what it is and moved on. Not surprising considering how rude everyone is there but I’ve never consistently gone to a super market and had so many unpleasant encounters. The prices are great but as a mom and wife being a. Grocery store as often as I am I would rather go literally...

After first experiencing Lidl in Ireland, I was excited when I heard that they were building new stores on Long Island. Now that several stores are open, and I've had the chance to experience them, I'm not nearly as excited about what we were given.

Perhaps the best thing about the Best Market that this store is replacing was the produce section. Lidl falls short when it comes to produce. Perhaps it has to do with how I shop. I'm not typically going to buy a bag of red onions when I need one red onion for a recipe, I'm not stocking a restaurant. Having all the produce in convenient bundles with barcodes makes it easier for the checkout staff, but is frustrating when buying ingredients for a one off recipe. The cheese selection is paltry, when it used to be robust. It feels like a pop-up market, instead of a grocery store.

As for prices, some items seemed like deals, while others made me wonder if they even have a clue what other stores in the area charge. The prices are hit or miss.

The staff were nice, although most seemed to just be hanging out, watching five employees work, or staring at an empty plastic pallet that had become a choke point in an aisle. The checkout staff were busy and courteous.

Hopefully they smooth out the bumps, and dial it in. But i have a feeling this store may be a once a quarter...

This place is going to be hit or miss depending on your expectations. If you bring ur own bags anyways, and need good quality cheap Staples (think chicken, milk, rice, eggs, tomatoes, bananas, cucumber,cheese,ect), this place is a hands down winner. It's not so big you'll spend hours in there looking for what you need. Organic produce is cheaper than anywhere else. Decent selection of most items, even finding some interesting new stuff to try occasionally (like Guatemalan coffee!) HOWEVER, if your the type of person to only stick to your favorite brand name foods /condiments/snacks, or if you are looking for a particular special ingredient, you will NOT like this place. If you like having your choice of 10 to 20 different types of (coffee, muffin, ice cream ect), you will NOT like this place. Personally I find the lack of choice's to be an easier shopping experience esp when I'm hungry because it takes the decision out of my hands lol. I barely saw any food brands that advertise on TV. But I did see many eclectic food items like pale ale in a pop top bottle, store brand gourmet salsas, plenty of meat cuts to pick from, chili flavored chocolate, date spread, and a lot of local-ish sourced items (look for little signs saying sourced from the east coast, ect). Also, cheap cut...
