Amazingly large stock- not just food, surprising items can be had
I really like the stool I got from the Lidl store in Ennis, Ireland. I got quite a surprise to find they have them in the store, as I didn't expect it, its nuts they carry such a large stock and never cease to amaze with a completely new product line. The packaging was airtight but still easy to open, after a couple of shakes, the stool just dropped out.
My wife recommended I keep the packaging to store the stool, although she made I clear I should not have it in the kitchen. I took a picture of the stool next to its original packaging, and shared it with my friends on Facebook. Many could not believe Lidl could sell such a thing, this resulted in many "likes" and Facebook shares, they were very interested in the stool.
Apart from me, nobody has tried the stool, so although they "like" it, none have been brave enough to step up on it. My early experience was at breakfast time, having my cereal as per usual, I saw the stool and wondered if it was a step too far, whether I could rise to the challenge. Of course its nuts to think of getting the stool out at breakfast time, my kids asked me not to get it out while they are eating, in case it put them off their food, they said it was a step to far. I suppose they could be right, but I didn't want to create a stink, so I gave feedback to Lidl about it, including a photo.
They asked me to send it back to them for analysis, that was two weeks ago and I've not heard anything since I delivered it to my local Lidl. Maybe they think I'm nuts to make such a big deal out of a stool from Lidl, my wife and kids will not have it back in the house, which is a shame because it was quite a talking point when friends came round. read more
