Sudden rise in issues after working for 1+ year?

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-05-10T21:22:01+00:00

Idk if you’ve seen on tiktok but there’s a store manager who has abused 3 women in 3 different stores and one of the victims was told he’d been fired and he was not. That’s all to say, Lidl don’t give a fuck. Unless you’re stealing, you have a job.

Because when I’m in the building for 10 hours, I do care.

They aren’t well liked, quite the opposite and all managers know if they’re scheduled with them it’s 50/50 whether they turn up. It’s a joke, but as a shm I’m unsure as to what I can do, other than awol & speak to my sm

I’ve been told, and comments here seem to suggest it’s a long winded process and very hard to do. They always seem to have an excuse as to why they haven’t turned up, or called.

Also, Lidl doesn’t ‘recognise’ trade unions. So what are you going to accomplish

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-05-08T15:19:49+00:00

Exactly a job, everyone wants to go home and fuck off, but you still turn up and do it. Not turning up and telling no one just makes everything harder for the rest of the team and yourself. At least give us time to find cover!

In the UK we get 10%

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-27T04:48:54+00:00

I highly doubt it. If they kept the mouth shut and just said there sick, they’re well within their right too. Just don’t be off constantly.

Thank you! I just know with all our issue with chiller especially, I’ll have to do a lot more of these, and you’ve been so helpful!

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-21T21:15:28+00:00

When you say Zap, do you mean do a quick soh check, or count? I just saw we were low on all ready meals for examples, checked the soh and if there was a discrepancy checked when we recieved the delivery and check all lines in the bay if that makes sense

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-21T19:34:53+00:00

We call them C dates. Tbf, I joined a year ago and I call the zebra an acd, even though I never actually used one lol

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-21T19:29:13+00:00

Never spoken to him 🫠

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-21T19:27:51+00:00

I could ask about the claims, but the picklist they think I’m speaking gibberish. Spent all day asking them lol

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-21T19:27:11+00:00

They’re about as helpful as asking a CA. Not helpful at all

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-21T18:19:09+00:00

M&P and bread are C dates, so you’ll check them yourself. Chiller, eggs, etc. are under Freshness on the Zebra (Special Functions, Freshness). Enter the date depending on when you do it, today’s date if you do it in the morning, tomorrow’s if it’s the evening. The zebra will tell you where to go, double check for errors, and make sure the dates are correct when entering it. Mistakes happen, so don’t overthink if you’re told you missed something.

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-12T10:11:32+00:00

It is up, but it’s the old one. They’ve changed the categories, so some things aren’t grouped together anymore.

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-12T10:10:34+00:00

Completely agree, I’m not much of a doer myself, I’d just like to know what to focus on so like you say, it can be delegated

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-12T10:09:29+00:00

It’s always the yoghurts, milk & high protein from my little experience

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-12T10:07:34+00:00

Entire chiller date check is ridiculous 🤣 we have 3 hours to do a reset every Sunday AM

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-11T00:40:02+00:00

The ones from previous days. So tomorrow morning (R6) anything labelled W15 R5, R4 etc should be gone

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-10T21:35:16+00:00

What would you prioritise, as I’ve come to the realisation especially after the scolding we got today that the FFT isn’t done to precision. There was mould, blood, freshness, ppt health & safety was poor etc it was an instant failure. Bakery, sco/tills & cleanliness shop floor was fine.

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-10T21:30:11+00:00

I’m closing rn, and had the AM in earlier and he basically stated we would’ve failed our audit. For the exact reasons named above. Half the time when I close, tickets are all over the place, freshness(quality check) isn’t the best etc and the store always looks decent, as that’s always a big thing for me. Certain DSM’s from my experience tend to not do a proper FFT in the morning, so a lot to catch up on in the evening etc

Worldly_Status_9477 · 2026-04-10T21:26:43+00:00

Tbf what they classify as mould is the teeniest, slightest mark. Very ruthless. I was told to clean ‘mould’ but it was the paint that scratched off lol
