Lidlโ€™s got their fucking ground covered. They are not even just in Europe. Theyโ€™re a major brand even in the USA. Same with Aldi. These two cheap discounters are not messing around.

Small hint: it should be Aldi Sรผd. Not Sud.

Sud is disgusting (basically meat juice) while Sรผd is a โ€ždirectionโ€œ.

In my town (in America) there is literally a lidl and aldi across the street from each other

I like to imagine the staff get into fights

They probably do dance-offs.

They probably couldnโ€™t care less about that sort of rivalry lol. They just go there to earn money. If anything I imagine they spend their breaks together.

Looks so nice tbh. Aldis in Germany (not Aldi Sรผd, I have Aldi Nord which is different and separate) are ugly as hell lol. I hate shopping at Aldi in Germany.

[โ€“] ECB@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Huh, Sรผd was always my favorite

I did visit a Nord once and it was surprisingly unpleasant

[โ€“] DicksAndPizza@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. Sรผd actually puts money in its stores. Nord stores are stuck in the 1960s with broken white floor tiles etc.
