Have you ever noticed this in Lidl?

An online discussion on Reddit highlights customer complaints about poor mobile signal inside Lidl stores in Slovenia. Users report losing phone signals upon entering the store, making it difficult to access coupons or the Lidl Plus app. Some describe feeling disconnected from the outside world, while others note similar issues at other retail locations. The problem affects multiple mobile operators, including Telekom and A1. Technical explanations suggest modern building materials like reinforced concrete and glass can weaken signals, particularly at higher frequencies. While some users jokingly suggest this might be part of Lidl’s strategy to encourage in-store purchases, Lidl Slovenia clarified that they rely on mobile operators for network coverage and have already installed free Wi-Fi in 32 stores, planning to expand it nationwide within a year.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced view by including both user experiences and technical explanations. It does not take a clear ideological stance but rather reports on a service issue affecting customers. The inclusion of both user concerns and Lidl’s response maintains neutrality.
