ItalyAn article reports on chaotic scenes at Lidl stores in France where discounted sales of fans and air conditioners led to crowds, fights, and police intervention. The situation was particularly intense in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where people queued overnight due to heatwaves. Parking was full, and tensions rose as customers rushed into stores, leading to overcrowding and some conflicts. Customers criticized Lidl for not adequately managing the rush despite knowing the sale would cause chaos. The discounted items were presented as air conditioners at 179 euros instead of 199, while classic fans were sold at 15 euros.
