LIDL by LIDL I'm losing my love for you...

Just did a bit of shopping in LIDL.  As I left the woman on the till said 'hey, have a great day'.  I should have said 'my day was going ok thanks, until some mad woman in a supermarket threw all my shopping at me'.

I have heard of branches of LIDL where they don't throw your shopping at you but at the one in Gipton in Leeds it's clearly what they're told to do - throw it at the customer no matter what the item is ignoring the logistics of actually getting it out of the till area - and the size of the till area.  And the mood of the customer faced with a mad person throwing jars at them.

I may be becoming paranoid but it seems to me that there's a tendency for firms to think that they're doing you a big fat favour by allowing you to be their customers.  More on this at some point...
