The UK’s leading supermarkets are constantly going head to head to see which one is cheaper or better for customers. Most shoppers have their preference and their opinion on what chain provides the best selection or the best customer service.
But what about how spacious and big supermarkets are? We all know what it’s like to wrestle with a fellow customer over the last pint of milk, or to try to nab the last loaf of bread when you’re dropping in after work.
One TikToker, whose go-to store is Lidl, took it upon himself to visit the largest Lidl on the planet “to see if it was worth the hype” – and what he found ranged from “weird” to “sickening”.
“I went to the biggest Lidl in the world,” the TikToker, who goes by Carmie Sellitto on TikTok, told his 732k followers. “I don’t even need to tell you guys where this place is located as it’s already gone so viral online.”
There was some dubiety in the comment section as to the location, though. The majority of the comments pointed to the store being situated in the city centre of Prague.
Going on to describe what he saw, the content creator explained: “This supermarket is so big. It has four floors. It took me ages to walk around but it was definitely worth it. The selection of food they have in here is actually crazy.
“They had so many sushi options and obviously that’s my favourite but I was actually only looking for one thing – that was the bakery. I feel like Lidl is known for their bakery. Not only is it super cheap, but it’s also really tasty.”
Moving on to the weird and wonderful, the influencer went on: “There were so many options but there were also so many weird foods I had never seen before. I think it’s because it’s the biggest Lidl in the world so they can just add these extras on.”
Gesturing to a bizarre-looking pastry, Carmie asked: “Like, what was that? I literally felt sick looking at it.”
He continued: “I also found the reduced section and had never seen any of these items before. I found it really weird but I liked it.”
On the way out, Carmie revealed that you have to check your receipt in a machine “otherwise you can’t leave” – another peculiar addition to the store. But what was the overall verdict in the massive building?
“I would say it’s definitely worth the hype,” Carmie confirmed.
