I found myself in Lidl today. I was initially quite impressed, as haven’t been to Lidl in many years. It looked much smarter than I remember. However, my initial delight was somewhat squashed as I walked past a woman in the bakery aisle whom picked up an item using the tongs of course, but then proceeded to sniff it. And I mean really sniff it, like it was a centimetre away from her nose, then return it to the thing that it was sitting in. I was somewhat disgusted and I don’t know if this is reasonable or not. I’m not a germophobia in general, but I certainly won’t be buying any bakery products from that Lidl anytime soon.
