I’m surprised it wasn’t already. Then again, there’s hardly any Morrisons down here (fortunately)
Lidl is a bit too much ‘Do everything possible within out store to save money on every level always’ for me. Only open 1 till. Leave the massive pile of empty cardboard in the middle of the aisle until the one person on the till has time to move it. etc etc. Also ..
You want Dolmio? I don’t think so mate .. you can have something called ‘Baresma’.
You wanna clean your toilet with harpic? Nope – you get ‘pine forest’.
You want some KP peanuts? Not today – you’re having ‘alesto’ peanuts.
You want ‘plenty’ kitchen towels, or philadelpia cheese, or hp sauce, or Heinz tomato sauce? Nope, nope, nope, nope – we’ve got a load of cheaper costing, and cheaper tasting, shit for you instead.
I think the Morrisons in London were all previously Safeways or something similar.
As a result, it feels like shopping in the 1980s.
I’m told that in the North, where they have purpose built stores, it’s a lot better.
Lidl is great because it’s small. 3 or 4 aisles. Not too much choice. You can get in and out quickly. Although the customer base seems to have descended to a new level of ineptitude when it comes to using self checkouts. I think they should offer some form of self checkout training and not let anyone use them unless they know how to perform this simple task.
I don’t know if this is a unique experience, but I absolutely hate being in Lidls… They make me feel weirdly anxious and stressed for some reason, that I don’t get with other supermarkets.
Maybe it’s just the really small aisles and the chaotic mess everywhere in the local one I sometimes use…
The Morrisons near me (far south) was only built about 10 years ago. Yet, it is the most souless shop around. It used to have the best fresh fruit and veg and bakery. Not sure what changed. There is hardly ever anyone in there. It’s also started selling loads of tat around the shop which looks even worse.
Morrisons is absolutely awful by me. Genuinely full of the most unpleasant people in the town, constantly dirty, crap stock, hate their lay out, that awful music they play. The whole thing feels like I’m in Safeways with my Nan in about 2001.
Shit went downhill fast after ken left the family business to lesser ‘business leaders’
Absolute shitbirds
My local Morrison is utter trash. Dirty, freezers leaking or completely stacked with ice, empty shelves and barely any staff. It’s also become very expensive to what it was a few years ago. I used to shop there a lot but I don’t anymore. Have switched completely to Lidl and I really like it. Plus their rewards app is actually decent.
I went morrisons recently, I’m amazed how fast it’s gone downhill.
