In my country we don't have Aldi, but we have Lidl. They seem very similar, but would be interesting to learn about their differences, and what history they have in common
- getwiththeprog 3y agothey are basically the same from a consumer perspective
- consumer451 3y agoLidl feels noticeably higher quality to me.
- potatopatch 3y agoLidl is less trusting of the consumer at least in Europe and completely unfriendly if you browse and don't find anything. You need to scan your bill to get out from automatic kiosks or not being able to exit anywhere other than the purchase lines in older layouts with no space to pass people with trolleys. Spar seems similar to Aldi from a consumer perspective, but is not very nice to its employees.
- switch007 3y agoIn the UK I find Lidl disorganised, dirty, with unfriendly staff. Aldi is usually the opposite Though Lidl has better bakery items and more loose goods, whereas Aldi prepackages almost everything.
- mongol 3y agoThey have unfriendly staff here too. But the cleanliness and organization varies by store. The purpose-built stores in suburbs are better than those housed in pre-existing buildings in the city
- switch007 3y agoThat's true. The newer, larger out-of-town Lidls are pretty decent. Still the same terrible staff though :D
- NicoJuicy 3y agoLidl is a nice store, I prefer it over Aldi. Originally, they had alternative ( but good) products, which really reduced your costs to shop. They almost had no brand items in the past. They also have some goodies at a good price in the middle rows of the store. The bakery is good too
