Aldi sucks :(

[CaptainQuartz]

Well, if you don't have one near you, praise be you.

Here in rural Gerogia, we have a thing called Aldi now. Which is relatively new. This store, is easily the gayest store..ever..

The things are small, don't get me wrong. But there are so many better places to shop.

First of all, the carts, you have to pay a quarter to use. But you get it back, so, no major harm there.

Secondly, everything there is, generic. Only a few things I saw...weren't..Reeses, Pringles, Bryers, and White Castle, were the only things I didn't see to be generic.

Thidly, you have to pay for your bags...yeah, You don't get those plastic free ones. Nope, you pay for these plastic/paper rip offs. Their big...but incovient. Also, there aren't any bag boys. Nope, manual labor here :)

Plus, they have three checkout lines, but the two times I've been there...They've only had one person, working one! These people are obviously too poor to pay a couple of extra hands to bag my shit, and make my time faster. Luckily, there usually isn't anyone there. But, my mother keeps dragging me along on her little expiditions to this defiled wretche store..

Bi-Lo for the win. :)

[BOZARTH187]

never even heard of it

[TheBlackDahliaMurder]

But it's really cheap to shop there.

[Rage]

People around here consider Aldi to be the "ghetto" grocery store, and having been there, it doesn't seem far from the truth.

Yeah, I will give you that. Everything there is "cheap' and by that, I mean "cheap..."

[AlphaCentauri]

Never heard of Aldi, I beat if Kroger and Aldi got in a fight, Kroger would win.

[Noah871]

Burn it down.

[DestroyerofMan]

Hey, they let you steal the orange boxes and shit for a reason, Bag-boy.

[TheFaces]

Yeah, it really is Ghetto, on a better note, I am late. But, I finally got WoW :D

Yeah i've had to shop there a few times. It gets pretty bad in Chicago especially after alot of people get their welfare checks. Luckily the one I go to is near a shitload of yuppes so they actually have some decent name brand shit there.

A buck for a tube of pringles? I'll take that.

[SashaNein]

hey, fuck you. generic items are perfectly legitimate items.

i'm a scummy student so i've been to aldi's and lidl more than once.

i hope you're not an elitist fuck who won't touch anything unless it has fucking calvin klein stamped on it. fuck that ghetto shit

all you read and wear or see and hear on tv is a product begging for your fat ass dirty dollar

[IdiotClown]

Sadly it is world wide. I only go there when I am running low on cash, their prices aren't bad at all. Some of the food is poor quality, but damn cheap. Usually old and ghetto people shop at Aldi.

P.S it was originally a German store in Germany.

[American-Chinker]

I does most of my shopping at walgreens

[max0rz]

Sounds like Aldi is a discount grocery store. It's similar to No Frills, it's a pain in the ass because if you try to take the carts too far into the parking lot, the brakes come on.

[depressed4life]

Let's put it this way, you better take a book the size of King James bible if you're going to wait in the checkout lines at this pathetic store, which likes to remind you that living in poverty sucks.

[Little-Kinky]

An Aldi's recently moved to my town.. Last year?

It's strange. I think they sell Cheerioats.

[depressed4life]

The checkout lines are pure torture at Aldi. All they usually have is one person doing the cashier duties. When you go into the store and notice how long the checkout line is, you'll want to turn around and find another store to shop at.

[mechadude32]

I've never heard of the store, on of the benefits of living in New Jersey, where everything is named differently then the rest of the country! We're special.

[Schizo-Sephy]

It's cheap food what else do you want?

[orangebomb]

Aldi's is nothing more than a generic grocery store that does everything by the cheap, with 95% of their merchandise being low quality rip-offs that can rival those with Chinese knock-offs. Ironic thing is that there are no Aldi's stores in China {none that I know of anyway} because the food are knock-offs themselves, if you can believe that.

[EnnuiEngram]

But where else will I buy my delicious Mountain Frostâ"¢?

[TechFlash]

my dad pitches a tent for ALDI cuz its so cheap. the milk's good and so is the frozen pizza, but everything else is shit

[aListers]

I shop because of the money. I also bring my own bags. I'm a real cheapskate.

[ragnkinson]

What did you expect though? The shit's from Sweden. Sweden has come with quite a few good things, but Aldi isn't one of them. (Pic related)

[chaos114]

Lol how is that store even still alive?

Something like that I'd imagine would obviously of been closed by now considering it's conditions and also extremely low staff rating as well.

Not only that but the manual labor and having to pay for cart and bag is outrageous these people should of been closed by now.

Best regards,

How the hell did this thread get resurrected from 2007?

I've never been to an Aldi, but it sounds pretty shit.
