ALDI

Why is there only 1 PERSON working in a WHOLE STORE at peak shopping hours? Whoever manages this store needs to be FIRED! If you are not familiar with hour to properly staff for peak shopping hours after 3pm GET TRAINING! It’s ridiculous to stand in a line that stretches all the way to the back of the store because there is only 1 cashier. That poor person should report management to Labor board. Just terrible!

Best prices, well maintained store, & awesome staff. Love that the cashiers have chairs. We will be back.

I didn't venture into Aldi's because I heard it was "different" and wasn't sure what to expect. Their sale items seemed too good to be true. Must not be very good, right? Wrong! I finally decided to try a few sale items and ended up with a cart full of name brands I'd never heard of. To my surprise, everything was just as good as the big brand names and many were better. The produce reminded me of a farmer's market. Meat and dairy were good. I don't normally buy trail mix, but their varieties made me cave. I quickly returned for more mix and more ice cream, but Bluebell and Kroger needn't worry. I was happy with everything I purchased, but here's why I rated 4 stars: * Hours: They open late and close early (9a-8p). * Inventory: Varies. You probably won't find everything on your list. * Selection: Mostly limited to Aldi brand. * Atmosphere: A slight vibe vaguely reminiscent of what I imagine a food pantry is like. What makes Aldi "different": * Carts: Sign says $0.25 to unlock. Say what? As I was frantically digging, an employee came out waving a quarter. Turns out the first cart had one in the slot. The procedure is to unlock your cart, then move the quarter to the next cart. If someone pockets the quarter, an employee will furnish. Seems like an unnecessary layer of complexity, but must admit I treated the cart with more respect and have never seen an empty cart in the parking lot. Just another way they keep prices low, so I can dig that, man. * Bagging: You're on your own. Checked items are placed in an empty cart and there's a staging area for bagging. Bags are sold at a reasonable price and they bring out free boxes when available. An employee will sometimes offer to help. Why I enthusiastically insist you try Aldi's: * Low prices: My internal dialog made me laugh. A few items had me fighting the urge to look over my shoulder because it felt like I was "getting away with something". * Superior quality: No disappointments. * Camaraderie: Kinship with other customers - "Aren't we smart for shopping here?" "This place is our little secret!" Toward employees - "Y'all are so cool for working here!" Best of all, there's a good feeling of "We're all in this together." If you don't mind making 2 stops for groceries, go to Aldi first! Before you head out, check their store hours, remember to bring your own bags, and review their sale flyer. You'll be glad you did.

They close the doors before their closing time (8.00 pm). I went through this multiple times and everybody around here knows that they do this. The lady at the cash register made fun of me and laughed saying that I couldn’t get anything because they were closed when it wasn’t time yet.

Beware !!Bought Chicken off the shelf with the packaged date latest and the meat was stinking horribly. How is that even possible unless there are decieving practices of changing labels and putting rotten products back on the shelf for sale. Not expected from Aldi. Thank God i sensed something fishy and rechecked it in the bagging area and decided to return it then and there and yes i was told to go back in the billing line to return an item that should not have been on the shelf in the first place . Pathetic !!
