Bar in Lidl

I think my problem would be climbing up onto those uncomfortable bar stools they provide!

Will there also be toilet facilities?

I think there has to be in a place where food and drink are served, so that people can wash their hands.

In fact any bar or cafe in a supermarket would be useful for parking the man in your life, then he couldn’t trail after you putting unwanted items in the trolley or ask why you’re buying something.

Then you'd end up with an inebriated man to deal with along with every other bum-ache that goes with supermarket shopping.

Fortunately I can trust DP to just have the one drink.He could sip it happily while reading the paper.

…and falling off them on the way down.😄

*Supermarkets/Shopping centres in NI still don't open till 1pm on a Sunday!!!! Although local shops (Spar etc open all day) . No idea why*

Presbyterianism, like the Wee Frees in Scotland, is my guess.

I think it's to allow the staff to go to church without losing their job.
Seems reasonable to me.
There is more to life than getting and spending every hour of every day.

Hmmm, hate to be a kill joy, but seeing as most people drive to a supermarket and may go alone, isn’t this going to increase the number of over the limit drivers?
Not everyone has a spouse to go with them.

Well one would hope they would have more sense but we will see

It’s not obligatory to drink alcohol in a bar, there are plenty of low or no alcohol drinks available in most of them, my usual half of shandy would be fine.

Imagine being half cut in the "Middle Of Lidl" searching for courgettes and coming out with a kayak and a fishing rod instead.

it would be disastrous

I’m anticipating what other supermarkets are planning to add too. Also slightly worried certain type of customers that will irritate shoppers and may cause trouble.

Freya5 Morrisons is still there in Gib but I don’t remember seeing a bar just a nice cafe.

Here is a photo. Perhaps they got rid of it, was a while ago.

Later on I was advised to avoid the supermarkets and only buy alcohol in an independent off licence where they’d be happy to serve me

When I bought alcohol in Alice Springs, in the bottle shop next to the supermarket, I had to have my passport approved by the police.
