Great supermarket on the bigger size and well looked for. Always full shelves and clean

Nothing new here. Lidl will always be "lidl" in prices.

I'm from Germany, so I thought I'd do some shopping at Lidl, which I don't do very often in Germany. I don't remember them having self-service checkouts or scanners here. Other supermarkets do, e.g. REWE or Famila. There, these self-service checkouts are really foolproof and simply work. Here in Edinburgh at Lidl, the system is extremely petty and prone to error, I would say it's unusable. At least 5 times someone from the staff had to come and unlock the system. First of all the scanning doesn't work properly, spacing of products seems to be extremely crucial, plus why measure the products in the shopping bags are weighed again, that doesn't work optimally either and always gives errors. It seems to me that there is very little trust in the customer. That's how fussy they are. Not in Germany, where perhaps a small loss or shrinkage is taken into account? Although, since you ultimately save on staff, it should be worth it, shouldn't it? Anyway, not my problem as a customer, as I said, the system simply doesn't work! In the end, it took us three times longer than if we had gone straight to the checkout with a human cashier. Otherwise, the product selection here at Lidl is very good, which I have to emphasise as positive.
