Security Guard Duties

You gotta hand it to em'.

Security guards in LIDL really do work hard, it's like they run the show. Not only to they have to scrutinize every customer/would be criminal in an environment where shopping baskets are banned and customers/would be criminals are thus forced to use make-shift devices such as discarded boxes to transport their items to the counter... BUT they also handle complaints.

If an electronic device is faulty and under guarantee.. who do people hound? The cashier? The floor manager?

No, the security guard.

Surrounded by a small family of angry people he pulls open the box, checks guarantees and receipts... while suspiciously looking around to see if criminals are taking advantage of his lack of attention.

This same principle is applied if you have an item to take back or exchange.

Floor spillages. The janitor? The cashier? The floor manager? No, the security guard is the guy to haul out the "Warning Wet Surface" sign, get a mop and remove any evidence of cheap Germanic vodka spillages.

These guys are truly overlooked in every way. Please show your appreciation by carrying your items clearly in view and in no way look like you're hiding anything, smuggling or avoiding the responsibility of paying.
