    Well, yes, but loss leaders are more commonly some kind of trash not open ended healthy food!

      Good guy Lidl?

      They do seem to try and buck the trend of other supermarkets quite a bit. German companies also tend to focus on long term growth over short term profits more than most. I would assume this is an attempt to garner goodwill and gain a loyal customer base. Lidl have been the underdog for a long time but they’ve been eating up market share and perhaps think it’s about time to try and flex their muscles a bit and get a surge of new customers, goodwill, and loss leader profits all at the same time.

      Considering they’re a capitalist megacorp I do find them to be far more reasonable than their competition.

      Tesco have created a caste system between those who have and don’t have a clubcard.

      Sainsburys, Morrison’s, and Asda treat everyone like a thief with facial recognition cameras and barriers everywhere.

      Aldi pump everything with so much palm oil I feel it dripping out my pores.

      Lidl are the only major supermarket to still treat their customers with a modicum of respect.

        Regarding Tesco’s. If you’ve a screenshot of a pal’s card’s barcode thay should work just as well as having a card yourself. If you find yourself needing to use them.
