Went in Aldi today just to get a few bits and I didn't get a troley as I was thinking I'm only gonna get some eggs,butter and cocoa powder,it was nt worth to change up a tenner for that as the troly is on a coin basis and I was gonna pay by card anyway.in the shop I realised that I want some other bits aswell and went to the cashier and got a bag as they don't offer any baskets I thought i'll put everything in the bag.i couldn't find the cocoa powder and decided to ask the shop assistant,this rudly alleged that I'm trying to steal and ordered me to get a troly!i was shocked,but I was thinking that i'll just get my last item and make my way to the cashier.i've told him that I just want to know if they have any cocoa powder,so he started shouting that I'm nt listening to him and ignoring him!he then said to get a troly or I can't shop there!he could have offered to hold my items till I get one of those important trolys and perhaps stop shouting like a prison warden!after I paid for the goods,i asked to speak with the manager and suprise!he was the manager!i might have been wrong in using the bag before check out,but surely this is nt they way of treating customers!very dissapointing experience from mr Dragan!i Usualy do my weekly shopping at Aldi on london road,generaly happy with my purces,in the past did get bad vegetables as cucumbers gone bad,didn't realise till home as they didn't have a best before date and moulded salami still in date,paper shredder that worked for 10min,waiting in the q for 15min as there was only 1cashier always(they never have more than one!) this didn't bother me as such..so continued shopping there till today!thanks Aldi but No thanks!
