very expensive electronics are pricing out at 25 cents maybe not as well known as some other chains
Aldi offers a Bare Bones shopping experience to keep its prices low so go ahead and grab a deal
but here are 10 things you should never do at Aldi forget the deposit hey it's my lucky day
a penny you look just ran out most people use a shopping cart when they go grocery shopping but
when you shop at most grocery stores you don't have to put down a deposit to use that shopping
cart if you're going to shop at the german-owned ALDI supermarket chain you're going to have to
get used to having a supply of quarters on hand you have to put a quarter in a slot to release
a cart from the stack when you return the cart to the stack you'll get the quarter refunded to you
some people might think this is somewhat of an odd setup compared to most American grocery stores you
might be wondering what's behind this refundable deposit scheme anyway Aldi considers the small
deposit to be a cost-saving measure because the chain doesn't have to hire people to run around
the parking lot to collect the shopping carts and bring them back to the front of the store it would
be helpful to know about the deposit in advance because forgetting to bring quarters is one of
those things you should never do when going to Aldi some Shoppers have found ways around making
the deposit such as finding a cart that was left behind in the parking lot by another Shopper easy
peasy this might sound like a good idea but you can't count on this tactic so you should probably
just bring along some quarters dial your local Aldi hello [ __ ] get off the phone grocery stores
like Aldi want to satisfy their customers needs as much as they can but there are limits to what they
can do unlike many businesses this grocery store chain would rather you didn't pick up the phone in
fact Aldi stores don't always list a phone number on its website there's no need to call HR okay the
company insists that most of the time you can find what you're looking for on its website so there
really is no reason to pick up the phone however some Aldi stores do list their phone number online
but there's a catch if you decide you must call the number you won't be connected to your local
store instead you'll be connected to an automated system this system refers you to Aldi's website
where you can find the answers to most of your questions however if you need help with specific
questions such as how to schedule a pickup at a nearby Aldi or even a delivery to your house Aldi
has you covered you will be transferred to Aldi's customer service department where a representative
will help you for forget to BYOB the shopping bag they had a shopping bag when they came back to the
car grocery shopping is a chore many people would rather not do but a little preparation can help
make the experience a lot less of a hassle When shopping at the Aldi grocery chain make sure to
bring your own reusable bags Aldi will charge a few cents for the store's plastic bags and
on top of that the town you're shopping in might also tack on a few cents for good measure these
ones are 15p no I can carry all this you can avoid these annoying little charges by keeping
several bags in your car at all times when you get to the store you'll only have to remember
to bring them into the store with you but if you forget your bags Aldi has you covered because the
grocery chain sells its own line of reusable bags to choose from the clerks at the register are busy
and are actually timed and evaluated based on how quickly they can get you out the door and move on
to the next customer this means you shouldn't be surprised when the Aldi employees want you to bag
your own groceries when you check out some people might not want to bag their own groceries but it
seems that most Aldi customers are willing to do this in order to enjoy these significant savings
whether you like to bag your own groceries or not don't forget to bring your own grocery bags when
shopping at Aldi leave a cart behind just don't do it promise to save money the Aldi grocery
store chain hires fewer employees than most other stores ALDI locations average about 10 employees
which seems like a very small number for a grocery store the company and the employees make it work
but they don't have a lot of extra time for extra work like cleaning up after you one of the things
you should never do in all day is leave your cart behind in the middle of shopping maybe you had
to leave unexpectedly and it couldn't be helped however you should know that if you leave a cart
full of groceries behind you're leaving it for employees that are already stretched pretty thin
it's too much it's too much one of them will have to take the time to put all your items back on the
shelves leaving your cart behind in a grocery store might seem like a small thing but it's
actually quite an inconvenience for a grocery chain like Aldi which tends to be understaffed
compared to other grocery chains Aldi employees ask that if you do decide to abandon your cart
to please hand it over to one of them instead of just leaving it in an aisle for them to find later
of course the real solution is not to leave your cart behind in the first place if you can avoid
it show your support by hitting that like button we do appreciate it now let's keep going The Show
Goes On expect employees to referee what are you gonna do about it nothing you fouled you can't do
anything everyone loves lower prices but sometimes paying less at Aldi Grocery Stores comes with
an unfortunate cost that customers and employees shouldn't have to pay normally Shoppers don't have
to worry about getting into a confrontation at their local grocery store however when and several
people compete to get their hands on a quickly dwindling Aldi sale item tempers can flare up with
little warning sometimes to the point of physical confrontations between customers how do you feel
I went from happy to angry and while this type of situation is troubling it's also troubling to
think that all the employees might end up in the middle of the scuffle expecting employees to act
as referees and break up an altercation should not be in the job description at Aldi no sale is worth
getting into a fight over that some people are going to act inappropriately and there's nothing
you can do about it the employees are just trying to do their jobs and should not be put in the
position of referee for people who choose not to control themselves they have a lot of real work
to do and besides the item in question will likely be available again soon obviously the smart thing
to do is to just check back a little later to see if the item has been restocked instead of throwing
down with a fellow Shopper next time you're shopping at your local Aldi grocery store try to
keep your temper under wraps so the hard-working employees can go about their day without any
unnecessary drama wear out your welcome 30 more minutes to go man we better not have no late night
after coming in here closing time at Aldi stores is relatively early with most locations opening
at 9 00 a.m and locking the doors for the night at 9pm even though the store hours are clearly posted
at the store and on the website this doesn't stop some of the less thoughtful customers from trying
to press their luck these troublemakers will show up mere minutes before closing time and expect to
be able to shop for a full grocery order all the employees work hard and they undoubtedly
look forward to going home after a long day after the doors are closed at 9pm the employees can't
immediately punch out because there's still work to do when customers ignore the posted hours they
can significantly delay the work that needs to be done this is why shopping after hours is one
of the things you should never do in Aldi also all the employees have made it clear they would
rather customers didn't linger too long in the restrooms for whatever reason some customers
apparently spend more time I'm in the restroom than others what is taking so long we have to
remember that most people would not like it if someone showed up at their place of business
right at closing time former Aldi employees have explained that if you do insist on shopping right
before the store is to close it would be better to limit the number of purchases and use one of
the self-checkout stations if possible the quicker you get out of the store the quicker the staff can
go home twice is Nice twice twice two times one of the things people like most about shopping at the
Aldi grocery chain is the significant amount of money they save on their bill some customers have
reported spending only about half the amount of money they usually spend at other grocery stores
for the same amount of food Aldi's also recognized as a place that offers its customers quality
products even though they are a lot cheaper than the competition's brand name products every now
and then one of the products you buy at Aldi might not be to your liking but don't get stressed out
about it this is where Aldi's unique Twice As Nice policy comes into play when you bring an item that
you don't like back to an Aldi store they will replace The Unwanted item with a comparable
product but the best part is that the store will also refund your money I love it it's simply
awesome this Twice As Nice policy is a very good deal especially in an era where many stores will
try to give you store credit instead of giving you your money back that's Twice As Nice policy
as a nice little perk for Shoppers and forgetting to use it is one of the things you should never
do in Aldi wonder why prices may vary Jesus why is it so expensive here the prices you pay for
particular items at your local Aldi might not be the same prices you'll see in a different part of
the country you shouldn't be surprised if you pay a little more or even less for an item than you're
used to paying there are a number of reasons for these variation in prices at different ALDI
locations but the major causes include different levels of consumer demand competition with other
grocery stores and operating costs these factors can differ quite a bit from region to region and
sometimes they can result in significant variations in prices you might notice when
you check out if you notice a price increase on an item you recently bought at your local Aldi
you can ask the store manager to refund you the difference however you should keep in mind this
isn't an official policy you can count on every time you should probably know that the Aldi chain
does not play the price matching game like some other grocery store chains do Aldi insists that
its everyday prices are usually lower than the competition anyway so there isn't really any
need to do price matching this policy might not make everyone happy but keep in mind that you're
paying significantly less most of the time at Aldi miss out on adult beverages I got one alcohol has
been an increasingly significant percentage of many grocery chains bottom lines for years and
ALDI is smart enough to get a piece of this a very lucrative action if you're a Wine Drinker you're
in luck because Aldi sells good quality bottles of wine for as low as eight dollars I'd like your
eight dollarest bottle of wine please so how good is this suspiciously cheap wine Aldi's Cote de
Provence Rose won a prestigious International award called the Great Value award so wine
experts agree that it's actually pretty good wine enthusiasts can choose from a fairly extensive
selection that includes white wine red wine Rose and sparkling wine if you're more of a Beer
Drinker Aldi has you covered as well because the chain offers a collection of domestic imported and
premium beers to try if you need some suggestions you're in luck the chain will help you out with
its wines of the month and beers of the month programs that feature seasonal selections so if
adult Refreshments happen to be on your shopping list skipping the cheap alcohol is definitely one
of the things you should never do in Aldi suffer from Brand Envy this isn't our normal cereal well
because this is the store brand but it's delicious a lot of Shoppers are pretty particular about
some of the popular name brands they buy at the grocery store this loyalty to particular Brands
usually isn't an issue because most grocery stores are packed with thousands of brand name
products the Aldi grocery store chain however is a little different in this respect because
you will be hard-pressed to find the popular name brands like Coca-Cola Skippy or Frito-Lay you can
certainly buy a lot of different kinds of soda including Cola but it just won't be the brands
you're used to buying peanut butter cereal snack chips and all the other products you're used to
seeing are there but in slightly different forms same same but different but still say you'll just
have to adjust your expectations if you're used to buying particular Brands you shouldn't worry about
this though because the products all these cells are of good quality and are comparable to many of
the brand names you're used to seeing at other stores an urge to reject a lesser-known brand
that Aldi should be dismissed because you'd likely be missing out on a good value many Aldi customers
will tell you the brands you find on the shelves are usually as good or better than the name brands
so it will just take a little time to become familiar with all the different products that
this grocery store chain offers just a little bit I can't stress the littleness of it enough
