Oh what a shame. 
It just couldn’t happen to a nicer company.

Oh what a shame.
What a shame NOT!
I was turned away from Donni Lidl’s with a load of crisps as I was 4 hours late even though 2 weeks earlier I was still tipped even though I was late
Good news, I’m sincerely hoping this feeds down to Aldi as well.

Own experience, I don’t have a problem with Aldi. I get there, I sometimes wait for a bay, then I tip myself and because we work on drop and drive, I leave. The exception being Colchester where they tip you and I’ve never been delayed there.
I refused to deliver to Lidl years ago.
This following on the heels of Langdons refusing to deal with Iceland. I’m all for the hauliers doing what they should have done years ago if they weren’t caught up in a bidding war for crap work that is!

Good to see ! Perhaps the aforementioned hauliers can extend their boycotting to the likes of Tesco, Asda, Sains, Morries, Amazon too? A requirement to be on a bay, unloaded, paperwork signed and leaving site within an hour I think is more than fair.
How ironic all the draconian measures put in place for night deliveries esp into London now they can’t get there supplies and suddenly they want to relax there restrictions well I say Bollox to them keep there restrictions and have your shelves empty talk about moving goalposts to suite, as per usual we get all the ■■■■

Same. We wait for paperwork generally but with Aldi I can’t recall many issues. They’re certainly not on my hitlist of rubbish tips.
Lidl however… I’m trying to muster some sympathy but… its not happening.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Between Brexit and Covid, the industry is finally gaining some teeth.

Well said that man.
Let them starve on their own rules.
If they’re looking for sympathy I’ll tell them where to find it. It’s in the dictionary between sheet and syphilis.

Just tell them there was a load of it arrived earlier but it was late so the turned it away 
I’ve only been to a Lidl RDC the once - and it seems they have about six staff across the entire depot, whilst you report to the small admin window, book yourself in, and then tip yourself, book the pallets in, having dropped them yourself in a neat line with a PPM they let you use… Very “minimalist” on staff that work for Lidl, but very labour-intensive on the visiting drivers, regardless of them turning up at the to-the-minute time window or not…
Then again, supply drivers - used to get a raw deal at ANY rdc until the advent of the lockdown - stopped having us crammed into “cooler” driver waiting rooms…
There’s even something in it for those who don’t like bumping into people like me IN those waiting rooms.
We wait in our cabs nowadays, having immobilized the truck on the bay, as well as handed the keys in/sent them up the chute
I’d say that is a vast improvement on the pre-lockdown system of sitting on a damaged and soiled chair, assuming you could sit down in the “waiting room”. 30+ hairy arsed guys in there (never saw a lady driver darken the door of such a place…) the blend of odours being as colourful as the blend in political opinions being hurled about - assuming it wasn’t somewhere like Didcot Tescos when Nobby Dressingtable were running the place, where everyone sat in stony silence for about 3-4 hours waiting to be tipped, constantly looking at their watches… Woe betide anyone who returned to their cab halfway like I did, only to get the Colditz treatment like when trying to escape, and caught in the searchlight beam…
