Well well. Hard to believe what I have just read, but believe it I did, and of course it will all be true. The worrying thing is that most review sites seem to be full of Aldi tales of woe. What is obvious, seeing as how the complaints continue, is that Aldi themselves either do not frequent these sites or simply do not care. The latter for certain. I wonder why that is. For myself, and I am sure for others too, I would rather shop elsewhere and pay more for politeness, sane checkouts and good quality. Going by the complaints re staff attitudes it seems also that they don't have a good recruitment program, sifting the suitable from the unsuitable. Or, and this is important, nobody with good consumer experience wants to work for them. Word gets around I suppose.
