This is why they have the quarter deposit thing. It's funny that people here are saying that's awful when in reality its the only grocery store where I've never had to worry about some retard randomly leaving their cart in the parking lot because us poors NEED that quarter back

aldi is so cheap who cares that its utilitarian as gently caress. i dont want to pay out the rear end for a ~supermarket shopping experience~

their generic brand aldi stuff is also hilariously good and like half the price of name brand stuff. its crazy. and their produce is insanely cheap.

they have these vegetable chips for like $2.20 a bag that are dope as gently caress, and they're like free trade low salt gmo free all of that fancy fuckin jazz that i dont give a poo poo about. thats the same price as lays chips and lays chips are loving gross, greasy af, and made from literal potato garbage

also literally the best packaged cookies ive ever bought that are like actual real chocolate and wheat flour and they melt in your mouth its fuckin nuts. they cost less than chips ahoy and chips ahoy, again, are loving gross and made from actual garbage.

basically lol if u dont shop at aldi because you think its for poors. the idiot hell fucker is actually u

This. Aldi owns but of course goons rail on it because it's "for poors." Hahah yeah have fun spending $200 a week on groceries while I spend $100 for equivalent quality products.

I love ALDI they also get a cool selection of cheapo kitchen and deck stuff. The selection is obviously small but that's what the fancy stores are for.

I went to an ALDI's once just to see what it was like. They charged 10 cents per bag used for your groceries, which I didnt know about and gently caress if I ever bring my own. Never went back to that poo poo.

My awesome potato bread hamburger/hotdog buns (79 cents sucka) disagree. I don't eat much junkfood nowadays but when they have their zillion pack of pecan spinwheels on display or what not I'm always sure to grab a "tray" or 3.

job satisfaction. they are allowed to sit down and be grumpy, so they like their job better than a Publix employee who has to stand up and act happy even though they are even grumpier.

Personally I pay a poor to follow me on all fours wearing a pack saddle while I shop, otherwise sometimes you get a shopping cart with a bad wheel which is really annoying.

I know this is bullshit because the rich never ever give money or jobs to the poor.

Because there's only 2 or 3 staff members in the store at once that have to handle cashiering/stocking/shipping and receiving. When the lines get too long, a cashier sounds the buzzer of Communism and another staff member has to stop whatever they're doing and come cashier.

You can't really get everything you need from ALDI, but I live two blocks from one so I go there all the time. Typically don't even use a cart since I'm buying a meal or two at a time.

Look at these scrubs who don't just grab a spare cardboard box to put their groceries in and save the hassle of getting change. I learned that poo poo shopping at Sam's.

Aldi is basically the Ryanair of the supermarket business.

I get what I want from ALDI way cheaper than from companies who literally fire people 2 days before their permanent contracts set in or fire them for trying to organise in any way.

Also lol if you can't handle the way efficient ALDI employess fire your condoms and booze through the till without even looking at you.
