Does anybody know how hard is it to switch from gnome to xfce on arch linux? Is it just removing gnome and installing xfce? Maybe someone could share their experience who has made the switch recently. If it is not a big thing that could pot

Of course automation lowers prices, but only for the customers, for LIDL it will first of all decrease revenues. Once LIDL's (and other discounters) customers move towards ordering on the internet, they will not queue up at the cashier

That's the thing I tried to point out in my original comment: They don't embrace automation because it will 100% lower prices in the whole industry. In the German market, ALDI/LIDL/REWE currently have a healthy oligopoly
