I use Aldi regularly as one is very close.* I find the quality
of their
products much better than Tesco, and once you know the layout you can
get in and out very quickly.

They don't have a layout, they just have pallets straight of the lorry
arranged in rows.

I do love it when someone proves they've never seen what it is they
claim to be talking about.

I must have imagined seeing exactly that then every time I go into my
local Lidl.

I'm not as frequent a shopper at Lidl as I am at Aldi, but certainly
in the
latter I can't remember ever seeing goods for sale from a pallet. Are you
sure you aren't channelling KiwkSave?
In mine there's often a pallet (or possibly two) on the left just
inside the door with very seasonal items on it (or just after, a deep
discount - I'd expect some Halloween clearance if I went today).
Apart from that, no pallets. Tesco has more pallets, which they use
for sugar all year round and piled with mince pies at Xmas.
But Morrisons has the better mince pies on Market Street.

The Tesco ones are probably "Mr Kipling", or perhaps the Tesco clone. No
doubt they have some premium ones elsewhere.
