Xavier Niel caught wind of the insult and decided to visit said Lidl—an Aldi-like discount supermarket
Wtf is this disrespect, Kotaku?
Disrespect? Lidl was specifically made to copy and be a direct competitor to Aldi.
What makes Lidl a copy of Aldi? Isn't every supermarket the same?
Lidl and Aldi were created by brothers and often appear near each other because sibling rival be like that
I know of brothers creating Aldi North and Aldi South, at least here in Germany (Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd). I wasn't aware of the history of Lidl being a direct competitor to Aldi. Just looked up on Wikipedia for quick reference.
Yep, Whole Foods and the Pay ‘n’ Save, basically identical.
And this is why commercial social media and the overarching idea that violence is a good way to solve most problems are both bad ideas.
It says something that folks reach for that instead of learning how to be calm about such things and tend to be supported for such behaviour instead of told it's not a good idea, even worse that they never take such things down once posted, often.
All part of the patriarchal, oversharing that the internet loves.

seems like kind of a publicity stunt by the CEO guy?
Maybe, but sounds like he was just having fun with it. I don't think anyone should be a billionaire, but they're just people.
