Jeg sendte en ny klage til Lidl

PS.

Her er mer om dette:

Hi,

I don’t like to complain this much.

But today I was at your shop in London Road, (and not in the one here in Fairfield/Kensington).

I bought the Iron Brew from Freeway, since they ‘always’ are sold out, for this product, at the other shop.

But when the cashier gave me the receipt, he held his finger under the receipt, so that I had to touch his finger, to get the receipt.

I’ve worked in the check-out myself, for several years, (like I’ve written to you earlier), and I always held the receipt at the edge, when I offered it to the custommer.

I thought this was a bit unpleasant to be honest.

Just thought I’d complain since I’ve started giving feed-back about things like this.

Jeg sendte en ny klage til Lidl

PS.

Her er selve klagen:

Hi,

today it was also poor custommer-support, at Lidl.

I’ve worked at Coop and ICA, in Norway as Food Shop Employee and Manager for fifteen years.

I have a new card from PayPal, since I run some web-shops, and I tried it today, and it worked at Home Bargains, but not at Lidl.

Then the cashier, (a young man from Spain, or something, I think), told me I couldn’t use credit-cards, after I’d typed my PIN.

Then I gave him three punds.

Since I didn’t hear exactly what the price was, since he isn’t British, he speaks a bit unclear perhaps.

The sub-total was really £2.47.

And I gave him a two pound coin and two fifty pence-coins.

Since I just heard two pounds *something*.

Then the cashier didn’t get the cash-register to work.

He asked me if I had a debit-card.

Even if I’d given him three pounds.

Which I thought was a bit personal.

Are the cashiers supposed to ask if I have a debit-card, if I have given him cash?

I thought that was a bit inpolite.

And to top it up, this cashier only gave me 3 pence back, so I had to complain, to get 50 pence more back, (since I gave him 3 punds and the sub-total was £2.47).

So it seems like the cashier tried to steal to me.

And he didn’t appologise!

He just gave me the 50-pence coin.

This is the same cashier that earlier has asked me, if a 2 liter bottle of orange-soda was mine.

(Which I think must have belonged to the custommer in front of me, in the queue).

After I explained it wasn’t mine, he just put the bottle aside, and didn’t run after the customer who had forgot the bottle.

I also think Lidl should have opened a new check-out, while this cash-register was ‘frozen’ like the cashier told his manager.

I’ve worked in a budget-chain called Rimi, in Norway, for 12-13 years, and I use to work as a cashier myself, the first of these years, so I think the cashier should have called for å new check-out, on the calling, while he had problems.

Because if the cashier get stressed, then it’s going to be much more probable that he makes mistakes, and threat the custommers with poor custommer-support.

I think your cashiers in this shop stress to much, like they are afraid to call on a new check-out to open.

I almost always get poor custommer-support in this shop.

The numbers on my receipt are: 1063 – 023385/02.

Haven’t heard anything about the complaint I sent you the other day, also regarding poor custommer-support, from an other new cashier there.

Regars,

Erik Ribsskog

PS.

Her er klagen jeg skrev:

Hi,

the cashier today just throws the bank-receipt. (In check-out number 1 at 16:47).

This has happened earlier with this cashier, as least once, as I remember it.

The cashier also charged me for one large and one regular carrier, even if I only had two regular carriers.

I also had to complain in the shop because the cashier first told me my goods cost nine pounds, which I understood was to much, it really cost £3.92.

(Receipt numbers 1063 – 187619/01).

Hi,

I like to send to proper e-mail addresses so could you please send this e-mail to your custommer-support?

Today I was at Lidl Kensington.

Boxes everywhere on the floor, where the butter etc. is, (I think it must have been).

Two Lidl-staff stands there some meters away, doing some fine-tuning of the shelves, I think.

The other custommers stood in my way due to that there were a lot of boxes on the floor.

This shop is also often sold of of 2 liters of Freeway-Cola and 2 liters of Freeway Iron Brew.

This shop also places goods in front of the check-out area so that there is no place to place the baskets.

(Althought this has been better lately).

Staff was inpolite today, told me to just take the carriers through and not put them on the check-out.

Without me asking anything.

Last time I was there, on Friday, someone forgot a 2 liter bottle of orange soda.

The cashier asked me if it was mine.

I explained that it wasn't, (I looked for the 12 packs of Pepsi-cans, which you had for Easter, but they were sold out, staff said, even you had plenty earlier that week I'd noticed).

The Cashier then just put the bottle aside, instead of running after the custommers who had forgotten their bottle.

A Lidl-manager and a sequrity-guard was also standing there, (watching this incident), since this was at closing time.

None of them bothered running after the custommer explaining that he had forgotten his goods.

I've worked in Coop in Norway for two years and Rimi/ICA in Norway for thirteen years, and have gone to business-school and one private and several public academies.

I thought this was poor custommer-support.

I've also worked as a Shop Manager, for four years, in Norway, so now I thought it was time to write a complaint.

Your carriers aren't that good quality eighter.

I opened one in the queue once, to make the packing go faster, and it split.

Just some feed-backs/complaints from a regular customer.

Regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Dårlig kundeservice på Lidl

Jeg som er tidligere kassamedarbeider, på CC Storkjøp, i Drammen, Matland/OBS Triaden i Lørenskog, og på flere Rimi-er, i Oslo og Follo.

Jeg stusset litt, på kundeservicen, på Lidl, i dag.

En spanjol, (tror jeg at han er, ihvertfall), som sitter i kassa der.

(Og som er ganske ny, har jeg lagt merke til, for han pleier noen ganger å fly ut i butikken for å finne en pris, osv).

Han spør meg, om en to-liter appelsinbrus, (en sånn til 49 pence), er min.

Nei, svarer jeg.

(For jeg leita etter 12-pakningene med Pepsi-bokser.

Som jeg kjøpte der, tidligere denne uken, for £2.79, eller noe.

Så jeg hadde ikke kjøpt noe brus.

For det her var også like før stengetid, klokka 20, så en in-house sikkerhetsvakt, maste på meg).

Jeg svarte at det ikke var min appelsinbrus.

Og ropte ‘excuse me’, til noen karer, som gikk bort fra kassa.

I tilfelle det var deres brus.

Men da sa bare han i kassa ‘no’.

Og satt vekk den brusen.

Jeg synes det var rart, at hverken kassereren eller de to andre Lidl-folka, som stod ved kassa til spanjolen reagerte.

(Det var en Lidl-leder og han samme vakta vel).

De løp ikke etter kundene, med varen, eller noe.

Men hvis det er en pris de ikke finner, da løper de ut av kassa, og rundt i butikken, for å finne den.

Så det er tydeligvis ikke kundene som er det viktigste, i Lidl.

Men nå forsvant jo Lidl ut igjen av Norge og så.

Så det er mulig at det er Lidl det er noe galt med, og ikke Norge.

Hvem vet.

Bare noe jeg tenkte på.

Mvh.

Erik Ribsskog

PS.

Både på vei til og fra Lidl, så så jeg mange politibiler.

På veien hjem så hadde politiet stoppet en bil, og ransaket to fargede personer, i 20-30-åra vel, som satt inne i bilen.

(Se bildene i denne bloggposten:

http://johncons-mirror.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/fler-bilder-fra-liverpool_21.html).

Dette var i den gata jeg bor i, Rufford Rd.

Så det var litt spesielt.

Så det er tydeligvis mye kriminalitet, her i området, det er helt sikkert.

Så sånn er nok det.

Bare noe jeg tenkte på.

Men men.

Hi,

thank you for the gift-card, which I tried to use today, and which worked.

But I'm wondering if it's like candid camera there?

Now, the regular bags are back in the self-service check-outs.

(So what the young woman in the small uniform said, doesn't seem to be right anyway, that there would be only sandwich-bags in the self-service check-outs).

Also, the customers only could use cash in one, of the like ten self-service check-outs today, the queue was told.

I just write to say thank you for the card again, but I reackon it's going to stay like this now then, with the self-service-check-outs, that the regular bags are available there.

I've also tried shopping a bit at Aldi now, in St. Johns.

(It's a quite new shop, less than a year old, I think).

But there, one can't buy 2 liter bottles of water, in singles, even if they're displayed.

One have to buy a four-pack.

But why don't they remove the single ones then?

I was harrassed in the check-out there, on Monday.

I'm used with buying water like that at Tesco, for 16 pence, and I haven't got room for more than four bottles in my fridge, where I store them, and I had one bottle there from before, so I didn't really water, I just wanted to stock up, so that I know I wont run out, so I just said at Aldi, that I didn't want the four bottles.

I have worked as a shop manager, in tree well known food-shops, in Oslo, Rimi Nylænde, Rimi Kalbakken and Rimi Langhus.

And I've also gone to business upper secondary school.

I don't think they can refuse customers to buy one bottle, if they are displayed.

I was told I had to buy three more bottles.

But thats fraud, I think.

(When all comes to all).

They did the same with the water with sparkles, that they displayed the singles, even if I guess they only allowed customers to buy four.

And even at Lidl they sell water in single 2. liter bottles.

So they were like in Hitler-Germany, I think.

They smiled and the woman even called me 'love', and said I had to buy four.

I think that woman would have smiled sending the Jews to Auswitz.

(To show the point).

I told her that water was only 16 pence, at Tesco, and less expensive.

So I think I'll shop at Tesco now.

Again.

We'll see.

She should have called a manager to calm it down, I think.

Because I also gave her a CV which was just laying there, so I think she was very inpolite.

So I got a bit angry, since I wasn't allowed to buy the 2 liter water bottle.

But anyway.

I'll also send this to Aldi, to complain, if I find there e-mail adress.

Hope this is alright!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

PS.

I couldn't see that Aldi had an e-mail address, on their website, so I guess I have to try to find that later.

Sorry that I also started writing some Aldi-stuff.

That was just to explain, that the problems with the carriers at Tesco, (and the bully, who followed me, the other week outside of your shop, which Liverpool One haven't contacted me about), has made me think about any other shops, that I could shop in.

So I think if you change it to much, in the check-outs, with the carriers and all, you could perhaps lose customers.

If there had been a just as big Asda-shop nearby, I propably had started shopping there a long time ago.

But there aren't any Asda shops like that in Liverpool City Centre, so I'll stick to the Tesco shop I think.

If the custommer-support is good etc.

We'll see.

Hope this is alrigh that I send an update about these problems.

Hi,

no, I don't think I need to speak with the manager about this now.

Since the young woman there yesterday explained about how it works now.

If you want to send me a gift-card for my time, then that's ok, I guess.

You can send it to Erik Ribsskog, Flat 3, 5 Leather Lane, Liverpool, L2 2AE.

But your regular bags are free, so I don't need it to pay for them.

I just went to the staffed check-out today, and then they just gave me the

regular bags.

So I understand about how you've changed it to now.

Maybe your other customers don't understand, but I've told you about now.

It's not like I try to run the shop, or anything.

So thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Fler bilder fra Liverpool

4. mars 2011
Idag er julemat reker fra Grønland. De kostet cirka 30 kroner vel, for en halv kilo, ferdig rensede reker, på Lidl, hvor jeg handler en sjelden gang

PS.

Det brødet er gluten-fritt brød, som er mye dyrere enn vanlig brød, her i England, dessverre.

Det brødet koster £1.49, altså cirka 15 kroner, på Tesco Superstore, for 400 gram brød.

Så det blir altså cirka 30 kroner, til sammen, for 800 gram brød, som er den vanlige størrelsen på brød vel, her i England.

Til sammenligning, så kan man få et vanlig brød, fint eller helkorn, for 4-5-6 kroner, for et brød på 800 gram, på Tesco eller Lidl, osv.

Så det er litt ‘drawback’, med å finne ut at man har gluten-allergi.

På den annen side, så hadde jeg veldig vondt i magen, for noen uker siden.

Og jeg måtte kjøpe plastglass, for å spytte i, for jeg fikk opp noe sånn betennelse, (eller hva det var), fra magen.

Men det har gått over nå, heldigvis.

Men nå går enda mer av budsjettet mitt til mat, siden det ikke er så lett å finne mat for glutenallergikere, som er billig.

Men, jeg merker at magen er veldig mye bedre, så det er skikkelig digg.

Og også at fordøyelsen fungerer bedre, merker jeg vel.

Og jeg ser ikke så bleik ut, som jeg gjorde før, da jeg spiste brød osv., med gluten, synes jeg at jeg merker.

Så sånn er nok det.

Så vi får se hva som skjer.

Vi får se.

Mvh.

Erik Ribsskog

PS 2.

Sånne her rekesmørbrød spiste jeg forresten på Holmsbu bad, tror jeg det var, på 80-tallet.

(Selv om de vel var med majones og persille og sitron vel).

Like etter at faren min, Arne Mogan Olsen, bygde på huset til onkelen min Runar, i Son.

For da pendla faren min og onkelen min Håkon, til Son, med båt, fra Berger, etter en bilulykke, på Mosseveien.

Og da kjørte jeg den båten, mens faren min lå og solte seg, foran i båten vel, i en sommerferie da.

(Eller om jeg satt foran og styrte, (og at den båten hadde ratt), mens faren min lå bak i båten, og solte seg.

Det kan ha vært sånn det var og.

Det er en del år siden det her, og jeg har kjørt ihvertfall 3-4 båter, på Drammensfjorden, på 70- og 80-tallet.

Det var en cabin cruiser vel, (som faren min bygde selv, på 70-tallet), sammen med tvillingene i Hellinga der, og faren deres og faren min vel.

Og tvillingene klagde på at jeg holdt på å kjøre mot et skjær.

Men jeg var bare 5-6 år vel, og på ferie fra mora mi i Larvik, så jeg var nesten i sjokk, da jeg måtte kjøre båten, for jeg hadde ikke ordentlig lært det.

Men men.

Men vi var et stykke fra det skjæret da, (da tvillingene klagde på meg), så jeg hadde nok svingt unna etterhvert.

Men jeg trengte noe å holde kursen etter da, så derfor kjørte jeg mot det skjæret.

Så sånn var det.

Men hvilken side jeg skulle passere møtende båter på osv., det hadde jeg jo ikke lært noe om da.

Så det var nok ganske uansvarlig av faren min, å la meg kjøre den båten, for jeg var jo bare 5-6 år, og den båten gikk ganske fort, og vi var vel fem personer i den båten.

Og faren min fulgte ikke med på kjøringa mi heller, men han skravla med faren til tvillingene. (De tvillingene så jeg forresten ikke så så mye til, etter at jeg flytta til Berger, noen år seinere, i 1979, men de var et par år eldre enn meg vel).

Men de tvillingene fulgte med, og det var kanskje bra, for jeg hadde egentlig ikke lært å kjøre den båten, men var litt i sjokk da.

Så sånn var det.

Den andre båten jeg kjørte på Drammensfjorden, det var vel den båten faren min og onkelen min Håkon, kjørte med til Son vel, for å jobbe på huset til Runar, i sommerferien.

Ellers så var det båten til Haldis, en cirka 16 fots vel, Askeladden seilbåt, som bare ble brukt som vanlig båt, med påhengsmotor.

For seile den båten gikk vel også for å være litt tung å seile.

Jeg kan ikke seile, og Jan og Viggo hadde jo seilt over til Rødtangen, og ikke klart å seile tilbake, så den båten lå i Rødtangen, i en del år.

Men den båten kjørte jeg en del aleine da, (etter at min far lærte meg å kjøre den. Men han hadde bensindunker med rusk i, i båten, så jeg måtte være forsiktig og ikke bruke fra feil dunk, selv noen kanskje blanda de dunkene etterhvert, som jeg har vært inne på, på bloggen tidligere), med min fars påhengsmotor, en 7.5 hesters Mercury motor.

Og båten til ØA aka. Øystein Andersen og dem, kjørte jeg også en del, på Drammensfjorden og Holmestrand og Sande, etter at båten til Haldis, ble ødelagt, i en kjent høststorm, på Østlandet, høsten 1987 vel, da Oslo Havn ble oversvømt osv.

Men men.

Bare noe jeg tenkte på.

Karl Frederik Fallen, han fikk meg forresten til å kjøre sin/deres båt, med en 9.9 hesters motor vel, en runde i Bergerbukta, en gang, da enten Ulf Havmo eller Espen Melheim var med vel.

For de hadde vel båten i Bergerbukta, (eller Blindsand heter det kanskje der), og ikke på Sand, hos faren til ØA og dem, Kai Andersen, av en eller annen grunn.

Og hvorfor Karl Frederik Fallan absolutt skulle låne meg båten hans, det veit jeg ikke.

Men han skulla absolutt det da, når vi var sånn 15-16 år gamle, var det vel kanskje.

Av en eller annen grunn.

Så sånn var det).

Og da var jeg ikke så gammel, så folka i de andre båtene kikka rart.

Så faren min ga opp det.

Men han prøvde vel kanskje å bruke meg som ‘båt-sjåfør-slave’, eller noe, da kanskje, den sommeren.

Hvem vet.

Men det var gode rekesmørbrød og karbonadesmørbrød, på Holmsbu Bad, var det vel, (hvor det nå vel er Spa-hotell, tror jeg).

Faren min dro ikke på Privaten, husker jeg, et annet kjent serveringssted, eller kro vel, i Holmsbu.

Men men.

(Det her lurte jeg også litt på, om kunne ha vært på Rødtangen først, (mens jeg spiste istad), at jeg spiste rekesmørbrød.

Men jeg tror det nok var i Holmsbu.

Gode smørbrød var det ihvertfall uansett).

Så vi får se hva som skjer.

Vi får se.

PS 3.

Og mora mi, Karen Ribsskog, i Larvik, på 70 og 80-tallet.

Hu var fæl til å dra på kafeteria.

Enten Carina eller hva de kafeteriaene het.

En ved siden av Thorfinns, i Jegersborggate.

En i 2. etasje over Narvesen, ved Torget, i Larvik.

En kafetera var det også i 2. etasje i Domus-bygget, (altså Forbrukersamvirke-bygget), som ligger litt ned fra Torget, mot jernbanestasjonen.

Og jeg hadde spist sånn fint tilgjort rekesmørbrød, på kafeteria, ihvertfall en gang før vi dro på Holmsbu bad der, på 80-tallet, jeg og faren min, (husker jeg).

(Det var ikke sånn at jeg ikke visste hvordan sånne rekesmørbrød smakte liksom, mener jeg å huske).

Så det er mulig at jeg fikk det en gang, av mora mi, i Larvik, på et sånt kafeteria-besøk da.

Jeg mener å huske at de hadde sånne rekesmørbrød, i den kafeteriaen, ved siden av Thorfinns der.

Men de var nok veldig dyre, tror jeg, så det var nok ikke ofte, at jeg fikk sånne smørbrød, (som var veldig gode).

Men en sjelden gang kanskje.

Kanskje en eller to ganger av mora mi, og kanskje en eller to ganger, av faren min, under oppveksten.

Så sånn var det.

Bare noe jeg tenkte på.

Men det var nok ikke i kafeterian til Forbrukersamvirke, for den var den minst hyggelige av de tre kafeteriaene, som mora mi pleide å gå på i Larvik, synes jeg nå, når jeg tenker på dette nå.

Men men.

Så sånn var nok det.

Så vi får se hva som skjer.

Vi får se.

25. desember 2010
Nå har jeg vært på Lidl og, for de har så god ferdigpizza der, og jeg kjøpte selvfølgelig også med noe til nettbutikken min

PS.

Jeg kan ta med prisene, siden jeg pleide å jobbe på Rimi.

To sånne gode pizzaer, koster £2.50, eller ca. 11-12 kroner stykket.

(De tyske budsjett-butikkene, som Aldi og Lidl, er ganske bra, synes jeg.

Der har de billig og god mat, vil jeg si.

Man kan si mye om tyskerne, (at de har starta kriger osv).

Men flinke med mat, vil jeg si at de er.

Så sånn er nok det.

Den marsipanen, den var på nesten 200 gram, og kosta ca. 8 kroner da.

Den er veldig god.

Det er marsipanbrød med mørk sjokolade da.

Det smaker nesten som norsk julemarsipan, som man kan kjøpe i butikkene i Norge.

(I Storbritannia, så jukser de ofte litt med maten, synes jeg det virker som.

Så det tyske godteriet smaker enda litt bedre, synes jeg.

Og jeg har jo vært i Tyskland, i noen dager, da jeg var på flukt, fra ‘mafian’.

Og de har mye god og minst like billig mat, i Tyskland og, har jeg lagt merke til.

Men her i England, så kan man faktisk få både engelsk mat, og også tysk mat da, på Lidl og Aldi.

Så jeg som er så glad i mat, har det som fisken i vannet her borte.

(Selv om jeg har litt dårlig råd).

Det er helt sikkert.

Men men.

Den Iron Brew-en og den Cola-en, det er 2. liters flasker.

Og de er også ganske/veldig gode.

(Jeg er ikke så vant med dem enda).

Mer da.

Men de er billige.

De koster 3-4 kroner, pr. flaske, som er på 2 liter.

Jeg er jo arbeidsledig.

Så jeg prøver å kjøpe billig mat.

Så jeg kjøpte ikke f.eks. Coca Cola og Irn Bru, men jeg kjøpte kopi-varene på Lidl da.

Siden jeg er på budsjett.

Men men.

Vodkaen, den er på 37.5 prosent.

(Så jeg kjøpte ikke den sterkeste, på 50% vel).

Men men.

Men den er på 0.7 liter og kosta £7.99 vel.

Dvs. ca. 70 kroner.

Så koster PayPal-avgift kanskje 10 kroner.

Emballasje kanskje 15-20 kroner.

Og porto kanskje 60(?) kroner.

Da kan jeg klare å få klemt den under 200 kroner.

Og da kanskje den selger.

Vi får se om jeg klarer det.

Jeg tenkte jeg skulle ta noe bobleplast rundt og ta den vodkaen oppi sånne rør.

Da burde vel den komme fram helskinnet til Norge, får jeg håpe på.

Vi får se hva som skjer.

Vi får se.

Mvh.

Erik Ribsskog

PS 2.

Den vodkaen kan kanskje være fin, for de som bor langt unna der det er butikker og pol osv., tenkte jeg på nå.

For det er vel ganske enkelt å bestille fra den nettbutikken min.

Men men.

Vi får se hva som skjer.

Vi får se.

PS 3.

Men den vodkaen, den så jeg nå, at den må jeg sende med vanlig bakkepost.

Hvis ikke så blir bare portoen ca. 150 kroner.

Så jeg får se mer på det her.

Kanskje jeg burde sende alt med bakkepost, så blir det litt billigere.

Men da må jeg lage tolldeklarasjonsskjemaene selv.

(For da får jeg ikke tak i de fra PayPal).

Men det klarer jeg vel.

Jeg får tenke litt mer på det her.

Så vi får se hva som skjer.

Vi får se.

PS 4.

Her er mer om dette:

PS 5.

Jeg blingsa litt i stad, når jeg skrev om portoen på vodkaen.

Jeg så på prisene for ‘resten av verden’, (utenfor Europa).

Så jeg leste feil pris.

Den kommer ikke på ca. 150 kroner i flypost.

Men ca. 70-80 kroner vel.

Så da sender jeg nok forsatt alt med flypost, med ‘PayPal’-frimerker.

For enkelthets skyld.

Så beklager at jeg roter litt her.

Jeg har kanskje vært i for mange butikker i dag.

Vi får se om jeg klarer å skjerpe meg.

Vi får se hva som skjer.

Vi får se.
