I've been anxiously waiting for Lidl's 2 open since I 1st saw the sign go up and the article in the newspaper 2+yrs ago. I had looked the company us online last year just to see what it was all about. It's my understanding that Lidl's s is a German based grocery chain but is also everywhere. They are a cross between Aldi's, Giant & k-mart. I finally got to visit the store for my 1st time today. I was VERY PLEASED. They had EVERYTHING I was looking for, plus so much more. Everything I bought today was cheaper than I'd spend regularly at Giant. They sells all of your grocery needs, they have a bakery bakes fresh bread daily as well as Donuts, soft pretzels and rolls just to name a few. They also have some gardening/outdoor needs, plants for both outside & indoors and fresh cut flowers. They have 2 aisles that have all sorts of tools, blankets, pillows, baby clothes, toys, household needs, sleeping bags. The only thing that there wasn't a large variety of was dog/cat food & needs. Dont get me wrong there was a decent variety for this pets it's just that my cat and dog will only eat a specific brand of foods and use a specific brand of cat litter and neither of those things were available here what's your sign with me. I definitely recommend you taking the time to stop by and check out this new store if you're in...
Read moreNormally I love this place. prices quality and options are all some of the best. But I don't think I will ever go back. There is 1 staff member that always has singled me out shamed and berated me because of my service dog.
This last time there was an unexpected accident. My dog had been walked he gave no warning and had a sudden accident. I was so embarrassed I instantly cleaned it up left the dog with my caretaker and got cotton rounds and rubbing alcohol. Normally I keep sanitizing wipes in my bag but I had run out. I came back to the spot and cleaned it with alcohol.
This woman waited till I was heading to the check out a good deal of time later to verbally attack me and kick my service dog out. As I was heading for the check out I had no choice but to send my dog out with my caretaker. However this was a mistake. My dog not being with me was not able to warn me I was about to have an attack. My caretaker being with the dog was not there to help me and I collapsed.
The management was wonderful and apologized for the situation but nonetheless I was denied the services that keep me safe because of 1 staff member who always has been attacking me verbally because I have a service dog. So I will never be shopping...
Read morePlaced an order to go. 3 gúys working in the place and all looked clueless when I asked them questions. Told them no Coke in fountain, and the cashier tried getting me to go with lemonade. I said no and he gave me 1 can of Coke. Paid for a medium Coke and it filled the cup half full. Had to ask for another to fill. The cook had to get me one like I was being a bother. The cook messed up a cheese burger, and saw him take off the bun and back on the grill. He looked back at me to see if I saw. He went back and got the 3rd guy who was in a back room to put the burgers together. They all looked shady by this point. Ordered a skinny burger and when I opened it, the burgers were in segments and not full patties. And the burgers were cold and dry. They all kept looking at me the whole time and then whispering to each other as though they knew they were doing something wrong, or had no idea what they were doing.The whole experience was weird and I should have went with my gut and asked for a refund and left. Service was poor and the quality mediocre at best. Always had a great experience at Fatburger in the past. Will never go to the 5001 Wilshire location again...or just forget about Fatburger completely. Not what it once was....
