Even with meat there is a big difference depending

with it between the truck and the shelf.

Truck to shelf seems to fairly rapid in my local.

I'd me more worried about some of the large supermarkets. Go in at 2am (in
a 24 hour store) and you will often find that much of the new stock in the
freezers is nearly thawed.

Ours mostly arent 24/7 so you cant do that. And the meat isnt frozen.

A problem with having to wait for the night stocking staff to turn up to
deal with the stuff that has turned up during the day.

At least with Adli/Lidl they have little back of store storage

Yeah, out Aldi certainly has that.

and usually within minutes the goods are wheeled into the isles (blocking
some access for customers) and then rapidly put on the shelves/coolers.

But apparently some stuff like the fresh chicken can sit on trolleys for too
long in the area that the customers dont go, outside the fridges in
there before they are moved into the store proper and onto the shelves.

Not all Aldis, just a couple of them, badly managed presumably.
