Why? You can still have carrier bags if you wish - it's just they will
cost you. You still pay for the 'free' bags you get in other
supermarkets.
If the environmentalists get their way all carrier bags at supermarkets
will soon be individually priced (taxed) at some high rate to encourage
you recycle them. Perhaps this already happens in some EU countries and
that's why some stores have the same policy in their UK branches.
It's called bull**** and inefficiency. Most of the time you wait at the
checkout in the large supermarket is down to the time taken for the
staff to swipe the unnecessary loyalty cards and discount vouchers and
giving away tokens worth a fraction of a penny for computers for schools
etc.
Also waiting for the women in front of you that hasn't realised that she
may have to pay for the items and has packed all the goods on top of her
purse!
At Lidl and Aldi I have never waited anywhere near this long. They seem
to employ checkout staff who are fast!
They do accept cards but not credit cards.
How do you tell the quality of water and can anyone actually tell the
difference between the hundreds of brands out there?
I'm reminded of a situation around a dozen years ago where a group of
people local to me were still using water from a well because it tasted
better. It transpired that it was contaminated with the sewerage from a
broken pipe.
The goods comes in the boxes or trays and wheeled in on palettes. I see
that some of the bigger supermarkets are going over to this method of
stocking.
I don't regard the customer service I get at any Lidl or Aldi any
different to that I get a Tesco or Sainsbury. I don't need the customer
service that these stores pretend to give in their TV advertising.
All stores sell a mixture of rubbish and quality goods. High prices
don't mean quality and low prices crap.
