Cow on the checkout,at lidl… was already bossing folk about…yesterday morning.
Got the old lady in front of me,in a right old fluster.
The “Cow” on the checkout was most likely doing her job, and informing the old lady what she needs to do, not “bossing” folk about.
Not knowing much about Lidls customer service I can only comment on Aldis there`s nothing wrong with it. Fill your basket,get on a checkout refill your basket pay and move off fill your bags away from the checkout. any problem cashier calls the Manager sorted. No point in shopping at Aldi if you want to have a natter or your bags filled at the checkout
For me its 8 miles round trip to Aldi calling in at the paper shop for a paper and lottery on the way back,home in hour and ten,lovely no “■■■■■■■ around”
No…she’s a cow.
Telling everybody(at the top of her voice) that masks are too little,too late…and they’ve had to work 6 days a week throughout the pandemic.
Wasn’t in no rush,when she was chatting to someone she knew who was in front of the old lady.
No mask BTW.
Then the old lady asked if she could pay for 2 plants and collect them on her way out
“NO”
So,then asked if she could put them in a basket and go back round to the checkout
“NO…it damages the wheels”
[zb] cow.
You now know not to shop at Lidl go somewhere else,not sure if Lidl will miss you

My views on Covid and masks is guided by my experience of it. As many will know I had an incredibly serious car crash earlier this year that required the air ambulance and a 3 week induced coma while they reassembled my smashed up body. Two weeks after waking from the coma they were planning to send me home as they were trying to get as many out as they could with the first corona patients arriving. It meant me going home probably weeks early as I couldn’t even stand up or walk. On what was to be my last day in hospital I started showing corona symptoms, so I was kept until the results of my test came back. I’ll tell you now first hand that that two days waiting, knowing that a positive would likely be a death sentence, after days or weeks of even more agonising pain (The thought of hour long coughing fits when you’ve a rib cage reassembled and coated in metal so even laughing was incredibly painful, not that I had much to laugh about!) was the most terrifying two days of my life. So you know what? Popping on a mask to go to shops really is [zb] all, it’s nothing, man the [zb] up really. Sorry for going off on one I just find all this anti mask nonsense pathetic at best.It’s not about you it about others. Hoo [zb]ing ray it doesn’t worry you and you’re healthy, lots of us really aren’t (and it’s killed plenty of healthy fit people anyway) so do it out of respect for others if nothing else. And so what if it even was some enormous world wide conspiracy, it isn’t, what’s the worst you’ve had to do? Wear a bit of fabric, again boo [zb]ing hoo poor you. Rant over
I wish trucknet had a like button, as someone which has been in and out of hospital regularly during this pandemic, not knowing if your going to come out again is a harrowing experience, the use of a mask is not to protect you, it’s to protect everyone else around you, if everyone wears a mask it might be uncomfortable, but it’s got to be better than you or any one in your family wearing a ventilator?
Ffs Winseer is that all you’ve got to worry about.
Maybe it’s a very slight inconvenience wearing a mask, but is it worth belly aching about as much as you are?
My 80 yr old Auntie who has a dodgy lung has been stuck in the house since March, she has seen the new mask rule and rang me the other day to say she might go out for a walk to the shop, as she felt a bit safer all the other shoppers wearing masks, along with herself.
In my book if many old people are being given confidence to step out, then putting on a mask is a minor inconvenience.
There are far more important issues worth bothering your arse about mate.
Mountains and mole hills.

Got to love all the snowflakes who are scared of wearing a bit of fabric on their faces. I went for the snood option, has a chargeable filter inside and it’ll be handy in winter anyway when cold
Pic uploaded to set off the weirdo who got upset about drivers wearing mirrored sunglasses. And no, I don’t ‘think’ I look cool, I know it, I don’t need sunglasses for that being Britain’s most swish lorryist
I also went for the snood type option while I was on furlough, I made the Mrs stay in and I did all the shopping.
Only thing was any shop I went in the staff looked alarmed at me like I was going to rob it.

Couldn’t disagree more if i tried.Trying to egofy a pointless,symbol of craven- aquiesence doesn’t fly as an emblem of ‘manning-up’ in any way,shape or form, i recognise old fruit.Quite the contrary.It is merely a symbol of the default,subservient demographic in these islands, with a full-on authoritarian fetish.Leaving aside the fact that the eyes are the most vulnerable ingress point i find this ‘oh it’s a conspiracy theorist’ routine frankly,worthy of contempt.My grandfather went ashore at Dunkirk,engaged with the Hun at Monte-Casino,WTF is wearing a face jam-rag to do with being a dignified human ■■■■■ being in any sense of the word ?

I’d love to say I understood that but that’s just an attempt at fancy word soup. Did you get a dictionary as a gift or something? Could you maybe play to your audience and dumb it down for us simple truckers?
Can’t say i’m happy about having to wear a mask either tbh, I just can’t see the point now. At the beginning, yeah, sure.
Makes me laugh when people say “you wear a mask to protect others” You do realise that not a single mask sold during this debacle has ever been bought by people who were thinking of others protection?

I do quite like the sound of ‘human [zb] beings’ though.
You’re a fine fellow Luke,but distinctly unenlightened in terms of the bigger picture at play.Life isn’t always a cabaret old son.Do some dot joining,millions are.Red-neck enuff ?

Still pointlessly elaborate, it’s a forum for truck drivers, you don’t get extra points for pomposity. But anyhow You’re not gonna see my point of view and I’m not gonna see yours, maybe I see a different bigger picture to you, amazing isn’t it how people can have differing opinions so best we avoid boring everyone with our tedious posts to each other. Have a nice evening.

My grandfather went ashore at Dunkirk,engaged with the Hun at Monte-Casino,
Surely if your Grandfather fought at Monte Cassino he would have went ashore in Sicily.
Dunkirk on the other hand was an evacuation, unless he went ashore in a rescue boat.

And BOOM! I did also think it brave calling his grandfather a [zb] being. Can’t say I had a similar relationship with mine (to be fair one died before I was born the other when I was 3 so who knows )

Just suggesting that maybe his History wasn’t as good as his English as a subject.

Well thats a fair one,on a geographical basis.Like, probably yourself,i was no stranger in trying to prize battlefield,info,nuggets from gramps,over our airfix assemblings of Hurricanes and Lankies at the time.Blissfully unaware of the immense traumas he would have endured as a Sherman-driver.I imagine he had a full memory of horrors squirreled away as a result of engaging with the German,hyper-superior ‘Tiger’ equivalents.Not stuff you would easily relate to an excitable grandchild with ease,‘brew ups’ type of thing.I guess only officers kept diaries.He certainly was at both those campaigns as well as Palestine.
