Waiter! There's a gnat in me cheese!!
Twiddleyboing! Man, a couple of weeks ago I was going to write a
gushing post about how great LIDL is, I bought some crazy shit
during my first visit and for the first time ever I got excited about
food shopping. Some of the packaging design is mad so I was going to
scan some of the interesting and weird products I got.
On Saturday last I was down there again with a trolley full of stuff
and I eagerly awaited to see how little it all cost, the Chinese check-out
girl said it was 100 quid and I happily whipped out the Visa. She then
starts shouting at me. I thought I won something the way the manager
came speeding over.
Turns out everyone was in a tizzy because I wanted to pay by credit
card, which LIDL don't accept. The two of them are making out like
I'm trying to fleece them. I eventually got them the cash from an
ATM up the road.
So be warned, LIDL don't take credit cards. Idiots.
At home I'm unpacking all the shit and thinking to myself, " They
may be a pack of dopes down in LIDL but the food is spot-on"
Then I look at the oversized pack of Edam cheese I'm holding and
I see a little squished fly INSIDE the fucking packet.

If it was Tesco's or Superquinn I'd be sorted compensation wise but
It'll be interesting to see how a 'no frills' supermarket handles this
kind of thing. I'll probably get a lifetime supply of plastic LIDL bags
or something. Stay tuned.
I firmly blame the Arts Council for this.
