“Aldi Supermarket - Never again”

★☆☆☆☆

written by vvFox479 on 13/04/2014

I tried Aldi for the first time, after hearing about their best supermarket award. Why would they get any awards??? The shop is like a jumble sale with items taking space that would not be on anyone's shopping list. Stop wasting space with surf boards and paint brushes and fill with a much higher variety of 'normal' products.
The reason I will not be shopping at Aldi again is the elongated buying system. You take the products off the shelf and place in your trolley, you then remove and place on the conveyor belt, to then repack the trolley with your products to take to the back of the store, unpack the trolley again to place all items in your own bags. After all that you can take your products back out of the trolley to put in your car to unpack again at home (I was actually asked by the till operator to stop packing in my bags at the conveyor belt and go the the back of the store to do it - there was nobody else behind me - how rude!)

Similar experience at the Walton-on-Thames store today. I had the audacity to pack into my open bags in my trolley at the same speed the cashier processed my goods. She told me in no uncertain terms to stop packing and go to the back of the store. When I queried this I was told in a robotic way that it was "company policy" to pack elsewhere. It was the first time I had shopped there by trolley and probably the last.
