1. Checkout staff who chat to each other instead of giving your their attention.
2. Shoppers who let their trollies swing across the aisle so you can't pass.
3. Shelf Stackers who dump empty boxes, etc. across the entire shop floor.
4. Self-Checkout machines that endlessly ask that as assistant verify your purchase.
5. Supermarket home deliveries that put the wrong items in your bag.
6. Car cleaning services that take up numerous parking spaces at the supermarket.
7. Having to pay a £1.00 deposit just to use a trolley.
8. So-called offers that you don't notice have not been taken off your bill until you get home.
9. Underground car parking spaces that are so narrow due to the spacing of the building structure.
10. The thought of going to the supermarket at some anti-social hour as something has run out.

Cackle - it could just be that the local Lidl is better than the local Aldi and has a lot of stuff in the deluxe range. It had buffallo mozzarella and everything!
I used to look after a dog whose tummy smelt v comforting - my (ex) BF said the same and when we mentioned it to the owners, they agreed. After a wet walk, his tummy smelt of shitake mushrooms.

We had moose portions in over Christmas! I guess I haven't been to Aldi in a while and Lidl are moving up.
You're right about the Bellarom chocolate, yummy.
* 'We' as in the Lidl in Thirsk, I don't work there or anything!!

I used to feel properly common when visiting that Waitrose Mr d, but having been there just before Christmas and then gone straight to Tesco afterwards I have concluded that regular Waitrose customers are baboons. Tesco was far more civilised.

I've never been to Waitrose. Scunthorpe doesn't have such a place.

Supermarket snobs. Get over yourselves. I shop exclusively in Lidl and Aldi and think the food in there is far superior to the offerings in the mainstream supermarkets.
So what if there's no space to pack your bag? If you unload your trolley properly you have time to reload it in bags, particularly if you use a big Ikea one like I do.
Full of chavs? The one I go to is on the edge of Hull near to the most affluent areas of the city and the only people shopping in there are the rich who turn up in Mercedes, Lexus, etc. No chavs at all in our Aldi or Lidl, just normal working families. You'll find a much higher proportion of chavs in Morrisons, Asda and Tesco.

Mr Jono to you Sir!
Asda for us - my theory is that most people actually shop at their nearest supermarket, unless your very sad / have no life / are swayed by adverts/ like german biscuits / italian sweets

My decision about what supermarket to shop at is based on 1. How close it is to home 2. How easy it is to get in & out if the car park.
Regarding other people's trolleys, Surrey Phil, I'm not averse to moving badly parked trolleys. Sometimes even when the user is still holding onto it

I only shop online so as to minimise contact with proles.
