I popped into Lidl this morning to pick up a few bits a pieces and was quite shocked to hear the checkout operator say to the woman in front iof me: "Would you like a ticket for the Health Lottery with that?".
When she said: "No thanks", the operator said: "But, its only a pound and you might win £50."
The woman bought the ticket.
When my turn came, I was asked the same question, to which I replied: "No, and I don't think you should be pushing these tickets at the checkout. The Health Lottery poster you have up there clearly shows a GambleAware logo and your actions are going against that."
She just ignored me and took the money and probably carried on asking everyone who came after me.
I think its wrong. If people choose to walk into a shop and buy a ticket, then fair enough, but Lidl staff shouldn't be persuading people to gamble.
Am I unreasonabe?
