I've been to a couple of Aldi's, but today I went to our new one for the first time. I know the drill, so I found a cardboard crate empty on the bread shelf. At checkout they are determined not to help you, it is so un-American feeling, but I slipped the cardboard into the cart when she turned to grab the items. To her credit she did about 3 scans per second, but then threw kombuchas upside down on purpose etc total mayhem, when she realized I tricked her into placing the items in the box. Lol.

The one near me, is mostly self checkout, if you need help your register starts blinking and a phone starts ringing and you have wait until an actual employee shows up. It is a bit strange.

I refuse the ring up or bag my own items. I’m not an employee.
@mackya @PoastalJen @annakatarina exactly my thought process. i am not subsidizing your labor expenses.
I guess you couldn't go to this store then, I rarely see an employee.
It is a strange store, it seems like it runs with so few people.

Self checkout is a blessing if I have to shop where niggers are employed
