If they want us through faster, handle the tills as quickly as Lidl do.


I like the no nonsense approach of Lidl and Aldi.


its their no quality approach that leaves me cold.



Her indoors is of the opinion that quality is standard across all the
supermarkets, and prices are determined solely by the number of staff
standing about waiting to be helpful. In that respect I think Sainsburys
have too many chiefs and far too many Indians.

I can categorically say that quality is *not* the same.

Sainsburies online shopping used to leave us with a lot of fresh produce
that had 1-3 days of firdge life left. Some of those fruit and veg could
barely last that long before going weird.

Similar with Tescos, from my them local store (where I get to pick the
longest dates).

Waitrose (via Ocado) give me 2-7 days of fridge life and *most*[1] of the
products are fresh and nice within that life and often for a few days more.

[1] Watermelons and strawberries are still rather variable.

I quite like Morrisons but they don't AFAICS do home delivery, and I lost
interest in trudging round supermarkets years ago.
