A manager came over and told Lisa she couldn't have all the cucumbers, so she spent three hours getting them at other shops instead
A mum claims she's been 'barred' from buying too much fruit and veg in Lidl after attempting to walk out with 100 cucumbers during a supermarket shortage. Lisa Fearns has been buying the huge number of cucumbers from Lidl every week for the past three years to make detox drinks for her juicing business. The 49-year-old says as she was about to pay on Sunday a manager rushed over and 'barred' her from emptying the shelf of the fruit.
"I get funny looks when I'm in the supermarket, people look at me like 'what are you doing?'I needed 100 cucumbers. The manager came running out of the back saying I'm buying too much fruit and veg and I can't purchase that much. They didn't want my custom so I said I'd take my custom to Aldi. The personal trainer has been running her juicing business since the start of the first lockdown three years ago and says she's noticed the cost of fruit and vegetables soar. She says on average she spends around £70 on cucumbers every week before making detox juice and selling it on. Lisa said: "I ran a ladies only gym and I was going to set up a juice bar but then lockdown happened so I started juicing from home.
A Lidl spokesperson said: "As a supermarket we want to ensure that all of our customers have access to the products they need, and we are therefore unfortunately not able to facilitate wholesale purchases.Tesco has followed Aldi, Asda and Morrisons in introducing customer limits on certain fresh produce as shortages leave supermarket shelves bare.
