I dunno but the checkout people are the fastest in the business!

Good pay there isn't it?

Very good pay I've heard!! Stay there for a year and you'll probably be on £7-8ph on the checkout, easy.

Lidl seems like a very good place to work to me. It's not as big as major supermarkets, so you're not really an anonymous checkout worker, and it's somewhat less busy from what I see!

I saw jobs being advertised for this place in my local paper and im going to apply for it. Money is very good and hours are failry reasonable.

Go for it I say :smile:

I reckon it's a good company because it's German :smile:

I think either Lidl or Aldi were really high in the Times top 100 graduate career paths or something...

What is the starting rate for 17 yr olds?

Do they usually employ college students?

Do they take a long time to get back to you?

Also what is the correct pronounciation of Lidl?

I've heard some say Lee-dal :s-smilie:

I have always pronounced it Li-dl

Lee (short pronunciation)-dl. (more like "dul")

"Lid-ul"

my local lidl pays £8.50 on start, or so was the application when it was being built, had to be 18 though. Rise after 3 months. Dont think its changed from what anyone around me has said. So must change with stores.

It looks a nice enough job, and your being paid well which isnt common in supermarkets! I have friends who have worked in somerfields for 3 years and are 18 and still paid less than £6.
