Women sniffing bakery item in Lidl

[Baconrollplease]

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.

😭 this is why I like the french/Dutch system. We went to Lidl there and they were displayed behind transparent doors. You slide the one you want across using a sort of paddle/tong thing and it drops down sort of like a vending machine at which point you bag it. So you know none of the others have been tampered with.

Was it Ariana Grande? She was caught licking doughnuts in Lidl a few years ago.

Also skank-related Lidl gross-ness: at the start of the pandemic I saw a Russian woman opening the packets of face masks and trying them on. Dirty bitch 🤢

I’ve never sniffed the bakery items but I will sniff potatoes, and sanitary towels because a) potatoes smell if they’re dank and b) no one needs a foof smelling of rank cheap perfume

I'd never sniff bakery items but I could spend hours sniffing all the fabric softeners

How did you know she was Russian? And why did you think we needed to know it?

I saw someone take the lid off ice cream and smell it ..also lidl

She was speaking Russian

No one needs to use the word "foof". Jesus wept.

I sniff a lot of foods.

1 Exhale deeply.

2 Bring item to nose.

3 Inhale and savour aroma.

4 Remove item.

5 Exhale again.

No germs or aerosol spread about, but bystanders might not see this and just think I'm a rank fucker.

So she could have been from any former Soviet country or just a Duolingo fan then… 🙈 But that wouldn’t fit with anti-Russian sentiment I guess.

Lidl bakery is pretty disgusting. I'm quite tall and can see on top of the cabinets. The filth up there is awful. Thick grey fluffy dusty grime.

I'm glad you asked that, as I was just thinking the exact same thing - as in, how did they know she was Russian? 😕

Some women were pawing away at unpacked bread rolls in Tesco and were quite indignant when I had a go at them. I mean, who wants to buy something someone else has had their grubby fingers all over. They just didn't get it. I'm now at the point where I only buy wrapped bread or rolls.

Better than Vajajay 😉

A woman in the Lidl local to my work lifts her dog up to smell the bakery items. I will
never buy anything from there for this reason.

My friend calls it her “toot”.

I'm sure it's not that deep. Not everyone has an agenda.

Most dirty bastards don’t even use the tongs - I would never buy uncovered food like that.

she was speaking Russian? Someone called her Olga? She was wearing a fur hat?

It is covered in Lidl.The bakery items are behind glass doors.

It’s Lidl. It’s to be expected.

A key reason I never touch unwrapped food (that can’t be washed or cooked) that’s freely available for the public to touch or bugs to land on.

It really grosses me out.

It’s like germ central everyone touching everything go to a proper bakery.

Tuna wallet 🤣🤣

I was in Sainsbury’s this morning, in the clothing section and saw a woman shovelling crisps down her throat, licking her fingers , wiping them down her her shorts then picking up clothes for a closer look. Not food I know but still pretty disgusting.
