beeches User ID: 78973486 United States 01/07/2022 06:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It appears all four of the Aldi stores in my area were closed all day yesterday. They've got only one phone number to call for all of them and when you call it no one answers. There is a message saying due to shortage of workers they don't answer the phones in the store. The corporate headquarters isn't answering the phones either. Quoting: BigSister Has the entire store chain shut down? Is there a news blackout about this? I can't find any information at all about this? don't know what is going on currently have always been unable to call a local Aldi directly. It's something they don't do - answering a potential customer's questions. worked at Aldi briefly in Germany, it was even more bare-bones there.

beeches User ID: 78973486 United States 01/07/2022 06:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hope not. They recently announced they are building a new store in my community. I would hate not to have that competition. Ingles and Walmart have the area sewed up. Ingles is way over-priced; Walmart is....well Walmart. Quoting: GA Girl my guess is you will get your Aldi! I like the aisle with odd stuff there - bought a decent hobby telescope once. Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |

I would hate not to have that competition. Ingles and Walmart have the area sewed up. Ingles is way over-priced; Walmart is....well Walmart. Quoting: GA Girl there food is all crap anyways The food in every store is crap. At least at Aldi I didn't have to pay as much for that crap. Well this sucks. Is there anywhere other than Aldi to get affordable food? Now I have to get all our groceries at HyVee and that's going to cost a lot more. I have a family to feed dammit! Your BigSister has some sage advice and opinions to offer characterized by wisdom, prudence, and good judgment through reflection and experience if you will receive it. |

These are the times I'm glad I'm alone with just me to feed. Looks like I'm getting the better end of the deal I think that, too. I spend most of my grocery money on my pets and stuff like cleaners, mouthwash, shampoo, paper towels, and even then rarely do I get over $120. My own food tends to be fruits/veggies, dairy, coffee, and lean meat. I hardly ever eat processed foods or grains. Seriously, I spend more to feed my 3 pets than myself! Well, if I don't count in the $80 I spend monthly on 4 $20 bottles of wine from the liquor store - one per week - which as often as not are served to guests. But, when I see the prices, and when I get behind people with families, I cringe. The clerk tells them, $262.17 and I think, "Wow, they have to do that every week?" |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 54615819 United States 01/07/2022 03:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well once you see ALL the McDonalds fast "Stuffing" joints close down across nation, You may 'Wish' to get more & more Choosy about THINGS & Brands being "consumed"....Truth may put YOU On One LONG FAST. We have Never been PROTECTED in our food supply as is suppose to be done. Back in the 1960's worked in a "prepared Salads and produce firm". While working there part time after school was clued in that if a 'BUZZER in the processing Area went off all these workers would STOP EVERYTHING and CLEAN-UP all the FILTH Areas and Violation AREAS. The BUZZER came via front office where a secretary would receive " CODED Message " from the Health Dept. Alerting Them they had 30-40 minutes before "INSPECTION TEAM" Arrived...... Pretty Well Explained EVERYTHING I've Witnessed over 55 yrs. in Every AREA of Trade, Politics, etc. SHAME SPIRITUALITY IS NOT FOLLOWED By THOSE WHO WISH TO GRADUATE TO HEAVEN..... |
