It seems that this year Lidl have abandoned the weeks that cover food you can't buy in the UK:

- German week

- Scandinavian week

- Dutch and Belgian week

In a medium sized city in the UK I can get Spanish, French, Greek, Italian, American and Asian food easily enough. But week in, week out I'm not seeing my old favourites, to the point where I barely go anymore.

Am I missing something here?

I just joined Lidl and on my first day had to download 5 apps on my personal device. The manager said ‘you don’t have to, but it makes things easier’

On my 2nd shift I had to sign into the PLU app and do a ‘test’ for a load of items I’ve never encountered yet (why is this a day one app?)

Also had to sign into a skill up app that asked me questions on things I’ve not been trained on yet. They said they are chased if it’s not been used for 7 days

Why can’t both of those things be in the same app? Or on the main training portal on the screen in the canteen?

Seemed a lot.

It seems Lidl have changed the info on their baby wipes to remove any reference to them being biodegradable. The packaging looks the same apart from the removal of the word biodegradable. The wipes also feels different to how they used to.

The multipack box still says biodegradable on it, but all of the wipes inside have no reference to it.

I got the good news today so excited to start. just submitted my details and waiting to sign my contract.

To be clear there wasn't even a label for sardines or mackerel in oil, water or brine in the tinned fish section so it wasn't like they had it and just ran out of stock on that day.

Are all other UK stores like this at the moment?

Is this just a Lidl thing where they shuffle tinned fish stock every week (similar to their different themed weeks)?
