LIDL - "QUALITY" FOR LESS

Postby Raymanoff » Mon Nov 08, 2010 9:01 am

OPENED MY CAN OF TUNA SALAD AND FOUND A BIG CHUNK OF CARDBOARD. NOT SURE WHAT ELSE I COULD FIND, SO I THREW ALL 5 CANS I BOUGHT AND SENT THIS IMAGE TO LIDL CUSTOMER SUPPORT, LETS SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. THIS WAS MY FIRST AND PROBABLY LAST VISIT THERE.

What brand was it? Unless Lidl packed the tin, you can't really blame them.

Bolloucks !!!
After the EU entry , Cyprus's greatest historical event , Lidl's entry counts as the second !!!!
Already the establishe supermarkets are slushing price by up to 30% !!!
Indicative of Lidls consumer beneficial influence in Cyprus.
They will shortly introduce their own massive bakery to serve all their stores in Cyprus , people of Cyprus should rejoice !!
The Germans have arrived , long may they keep arriving ( I hear Aldi will soon be here )

You need Germans to come make bread for you?

Must be one of the qualities of being in the EU!

Should have taken this tin and the others straight back and the manager would have refunded your money and sent this tin to the laboratory to see if it was cardboard that had been there before sealing or placed in afterwards.Lots of people try scamming food products in the UK and overseas and if it is genuine then you would have been compensated.To send just a photo may be thought of as suspect I would have thought.I have taken stuff back because I haven't liked the taste and been refunded so I find this post rather biased.

The time i will spend driving back and loose my nerves over this will never be justified. I will go straight to government laboratory tomorrow morning and submit this. Takes 5 minutes.
