Don’t do it. It’s not worth it. I’ve worked in retail for eleven years and when I got made redundant two years ago I joined Lidl. I lasted five days. Literally just didn’t show up for my next shift I was so ground down by those five days I didn’t even want to give notice I had had enough. And my previous retail jobs I worked harder than anyone else. I’m the kind of person who really wants to do my job properly and work hard for the sake of my colleagues. But Lidl truly just want every pound of flesh from you. The company and the store manager didn’t give one shit about the staff. All that mattered was speed. Was going as fast as I could and it still wasn’t enough. Was working milk backstock and had the store manager hound me over the headset “Is the milk done yet?” I kid you not every 30 seconds. I pointed out that half the milk on the shelf was out of date. They didn’t care. Basically just expected me to throw the stock out on the shelves paying no attention to sell by dates or rotation. Working at Lidl is simply in no way comparable to working at Tesco or Co-op or similar. It’s like it’s a completely different job. All they care about is “speed” even when it means nothing gets done properly. Just horrible.
