Lidls RDC Peterborough

Lidls RDC Peterborough
Worst time of my career, without going into detail as websites have policy’s, this is not a place you would want to work or have your family working. Appalling behaviour from those above to co workers being stoned, aggressive, compulsive liars , I could go on, save your MH , the money is not worth it, that’s why they have to pay well, to get you in there but it’s hell unless your a favourite but that won’t last long only until they decide to prey on some other mug

Cowboy parking charges. Beware

Have used Lidl for 18 years for our main monthly shop.
Prices are cheap, as expected along side that customer service is pretty poor along with stock availability,
Got a 90 pounds car park charge recently as I allegedly didn’t enter my vehicle reg correctly.
Lidl wouldn’t help and left me to fight their cowboy parking company on my own.
I no longer shop at Lidl

@ALDI FOR THE WIN

I went to Wincanton Lidl today and the most shocking customer service i have ever witnessed. I am no Karen so for someone like me to even download TrustPilot speaks volumes. The guy at the checkout did not utter a single word to me, threw the shopping at me despite clearly seeing me struggle. Before i had even packed the shopping fully away he muttered “receipt” , is that a question or? I said “Oh no that’s okay thank you” still nothing from him and he just started scanning the next persons mixing it into mine. Absolutely shocking, @Aldi for the win !!!!!!!

Lidl Bingley

Lidl Bingley.
Did my weekly shopping today and was charged TWICE on self check out for the same items. The two amounts were debited to my bank account immediately. Was given explanation this overcharge would be credited back within 4 days. Have never experienced anything like this before from any supplier. Either Lidl is keeping my money or the bank for the next 4 days.

Lidl Kingstanding

Kings Road, Birmingham, B44 9HH

The customer service here is the worst I have experienced. Almost every member of staff comes across as rude, unfriendly, and unwilling to help. A simple smile, basic politeness, or respect for customers seems to be missing.

Shopping should not feel uncomfortable, but every visit to this store is disappointing because of the staff’s attitude. Customer service is about treating people with courtesy and making them feel welcome, and sadly this store completely fails at that.

I hope management takes these reviews seriously and provides proper customer service training because the staff’s behaviour is driving customers away.

ZERO STARS REVIEW REGARDING HEAD OFFICE AND CALL CENTRE IN SCOTLAND NOT LONDON MISLEADING PROMOTION. X5 POINTS ON SOFT DRINKS AND JUICES THAT IS NOT.

ZERO STARS REVIEW REGARDING HEAD OFFICE AND CALL CENTRE IN SCOTLAND NOT LONDON MISLEADING PROMOTION. X5 POINTS ON SOFT DRINKS AND JUICES THAT IS NOT.

I went into Stanningley Leeds store x5 points so should of got 6 points didn't got 4 points so missing 2 points.

Bought lemon juice at 55p and some dijon mustard at 49p so came to £1.04 therefore 5+1 points makes 6 however only received 4 points with staff at the call centre refusing myself to deal with a manager but pasted myself from Shannon to Logan claimed he was part of the Senior Management Team when in fact he was a customer service agent.

Called back again spoke to Gemma cant assess account with card number that's a lie has it has been done previously so A manager got lying Logan on the call.

So as I've got seven years managerial experience a complaint email has gone in regarding misleading promotion under trading standards, under UK GDPR Legislation 2018 regarding my data and under The Equality Act 2010 by thinking I would fall under his spell as a man.

Update spoken to Becky as the automated system Lia can't deal with the points issue it's head office. Told by Becky for a manager to call myself back nope via email as all the staff are after is my contact number.

Bought a silvercrest remote control fan. Broke down after a few months use only just started using it although bought a few years ago. Customer services said out of warranty now even though any electrical product should last a reasonable time. This hasn't. Not fit for purpose.

Lidil store don’t get accused

I went to lidil store Burnley today
One of the workers accused me of apparently walking around the store eating a croissant and apparently giving abuse to staff when apparently my card got declined which isn’t true they band me from the store for no reason I’m waiting for Human Resources to call me back I will go to court to prove it wasn’t me I will so if you go to this store watch you don’t get mistaken for someone else’s mistakes that wasn’t you it’s very disappointing this I will pass this to so many sites cause it’s not fair to get accused of things like this

About COOKED BEETROOT bought in LIDL

I like our Lidl in Tunstall, but one particular product makes me furious every time and I have to throw it away again in a rubbish bin. It is COOKED BEETROOT as said on the packaging. Every time I open the packaging I feel sick. It looks like it is overcooked. Besides, the colour is dirty dark brown which is revolting. When I cook beetroot on my own, it is a bright red colour. I am surprised that this product is certified by RED TRACTOR.

Terrible reward scheme.

Up until Lidl changed it's reward programme I would have given it 5 stars. Now I am very disappointed. The previous reward program was far more customer focused. I use to spend over £250 half way through the month and received a 10% off coupon. I would put this towards one of my big shops and normally saved about £10, plus I received regular free items. Under this new system, there is no 10% off and I have to spend £1000 in order to get a £10 off coupon. Also by using the reward points to get a £10 off voucher, I can receive none of the previous free items. Lidl is no longer the store for me as it now works out more expensive than Tescos. This is a shame and I hope Lidl relooks at its reward scheme because it is now crap 😕

Just been in totton store I think the service today was not up to standard.
The shop assistant was chewing chewing gum and can’t count as my shopping came to a total of £10:03 to which I gave her 2x£10 pound notes egualing £20 and was told I could not leave unless I put something back on the shop floor.
The shop assistant then put my £20 in till she was looking dazed I told her you have just put my £20 in the till.
She tried to work change out and the customer next to me had to tell how much to give me back -£9.97p
I think this shop assistant needs more training
