Lidl is (or at least used to be) the absolute bottom of the barrel for employee welfare, paying the shittiest wages and having the worst working hours, I actively avoid shopping there.

I don't find it expensive for the basic ingredients I get there, as I said, stuff you use to cook proper Italian dishes. Stuff I could find in *normal* supermarkets back in Toronto, but Copenhagen is flat out terrible for food selection and quality in comparison to Toronto so you go to SuperMarco, or else Mad & Vin (and formerly Eataly), and if you think *SuperMarco* is expensive, hoo boy. Or boutique shops in Torvehallerne. Apart from spices, I skip there. Plus there's a Netto right next to SuperMarco for milk and other staples. You can get cheap ketchup there to put on your pasta screws.

Yeah, they literally incentivize bad management and give out bonuses for keeping a skeleton crew. Part of the reason is probably that they have an unending supply of essentially forced labor working on rotation for way below minimum wage.

Everything was legitimate, but it was still a bigger bother than ICA. I guess I could see it as going ahead of the queue in a way. The people there never have that "please let this end" stare and I can chat with them if they want, it's aces.

I hate having to call over a pimply-faced teen just to get some booze or painkillers, then again to be allowed to scan them and once more to be allowed to pay for them. And then the scale decides that I didn't put down the correct weight of scanned items and refuses to do anything before – yet again – I have to call for "help".

The stores I use the most have fingerprint scanners. You show your ID to a clerk one time, who hits a couple buttons and you add your print. After that you don’t have to bother with waiting for staff for age-restricted stuff. Unless the fingerprint scanners gently caress up. Which they often do. But I am a mellow guy who has time to wait for a couple of minutes until someone comes along.

Looking back. I feel nostalgic for when politicians were these squirming weasels that never answered any questions properly because they were afraid of being caught lying. Instead of this new breed of politicians that give firm and concise answers to questions while just lying through their teeth about every word. And then lying again when called on it.

Let's just say that Sy Hersh in 1970 isn't the same as Sy Hersh in 2023. Somewhere between My Lai and Syria, he basically lost his mind. Add in Ted Postol, and you're really off to the conspiracy derby. I read the article. If more comes out than one of Hersh's increasingly unreliable blogpost, let us know.

And since the article does not actually bring up any proof it just makes the article read like any other blog post conspiracy theory. So I'll just wait until better digging has been done on the blown pipelines.

Russia threatened nuclear war because Ukraine got some tanks. If the Russians had been caught off guard by the Nordstream bombing, they would have lost their minds in the media instead of shrugging their shoulders and blaming the US with ready-made propaganda materials. Like 45 min after the bombing.

i dont like to self-scan and almost never do. I Seem to be in the minority position among almost veryone i know. Even my boomer dad has readily embraced it, although dont say much since he is an early adopter of things like this. He also loopholes ICA's checkout system to not pay for grocery bags so thats an advantage i guess.

If I can scan wares with a mobile phone app, as I'm putting them into bags in the shopping card, and then just scan the mobile phone app and walk out instead of having to get into some sort of queue or have to take everything out of the bags, then I'll happily self-scan. I don't even mind if they spot-check me, as long as they don't expect me to lift a finger. The entire point, to me at least, is to avoid having to handle wares more than once until I get home and can put the wares away.
