    Lidl Customer assistant, February 2023

  • Best thing

    10% discount

    Worst thing

    Stressed, good work goes unrecognised, but something small done wrong is instantly pulled up.
    Managers don't always get to take breaks but still have to input they had a break. So they don't get paid for 15/30mins work they've actually done.
    Abuse from customers- shop lifters etc.
    Shifts changed last minute
