To be falling out of love with lidl?

I love the aldi / lidl business models, they fascinate me.

I've always liked lidl but lately I think I've fallen out of love with it because their quality is starting to take the piss.

Veg already rotten

Chicken thigh fillets that are no more than what you would find in a wing

Queues down the shop

And don't get me started on the packaging, they're clearly cutting a lot of corners here to keep prices low, manys a time lately that I've had to throw away things away upon unpacking because the packaging has broken in transit (predominantly fish / meat which is really fcking annoying)

Aibu to think lidl are at risk of losing their hard won market share as quick as they gained it if they don't stop taking the piss as currently I'd happily pay 20% more for halfway decent food

Why are you throwing out food if you know the packaging was intact when you bought it? That's just wasteful.

Our Lidl is fairly small and always been like this since it opened in 2014 ( I think it was then )
I gave up on it a while back , but you can't deny it is much cheaper than the likes of Sainsbury’s or tesco. I don't have an Aldi near me , but they are meant to be better I think.
