You had your jobs for the day and nothing was over strenuous. They do seem to attract more foreign people but that's probably the Irish 'im too good for this job' attitude! Worst part about the job was Irish customers coming up to your till and saying how glad they were to hear a local accent.. Always felt like punching them! Oh yeah and pack at the bench!:)

Its as if they shoot a gun to initiate a start as soon as they scan the first item and its you against them. Can you pack fast enough to prevent the build up of items on their miniature metal shelf? DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

Bag 1 - Fruit and Veg Bag 2 - Cold Stuff Bag 3 - Cleaning/Bathroom Bag 4 - Other Stuff.That's another reason I hate Tesco/Supervalu, there's always some little scrote collecting for something wanting to pack your bags in the most illogical way possible - feckin' hate that!

Galway K9 wrote: » Can someone clarify then The process of lidl/adli shopping: 1) Pack groceries in Trolley 2) Unpack groceries at till 3) Pack groceries at the till again into trolley after checkout 4) move 2 meteres, and unpack groceries at shelf 5) Pack groceries into bags and into trolley 6) At car, unpack groceries into car. All done while the cashier has a gun to your head,and a boardsie is shouting down to you while you are counting change out.

They even put the first item into the trolley, obviously as a reminder not to even think about producing a bag! It gets complicated if there are others at the shelf - best to wait in order to come home with your own purchases and not a tin of dog food where your cat food should be!
