ALDI — Local services in Cedar Falls

We haven't seen the beeping carts in a while that are mentioned in the following review.

Good prices! There are some pesky things about Aldi, though.

Aldi is very unreliable. Usually out of a significant amount of what you put in a pickup order for. Aisles aren't laid out well and it's cramped. Some employees are very nice, some are rude and don't seem to care, unlike the old ALDI on University. Employees regularly "beep" at people with their pickup order shopping cart to get out of the way, that's just one example. Just imagine a car horn honking at you while shopping, over and over again. It's a constant noise you hear in the store, probably because it's so cramped. I miss the old ALDI on University.

3 times on pickup orders we've ordered some individual fruits, but instead received and were charged for bags of fruits. For example, we ordered 6 individual plums and received 6 bags of plums, each containing about 13 plums. Who wants that many plums? We had to return them to the store. I'd think this would be an easy thing to notice when doing an order. After the 3rd time this happened I tried to call the store and ask them pass this on to the workers, but Aldi doesn't give out store phone numbers so you can't contact them. The last time we didn't need to return the fruit and just...

I fully understand what Aldi is and wanted to shop there for the simplicity and cheap prices. I've heard great things from family members about their experience in other towns. First of all let me say that I wasn't aware of their early closing time of 8:00 and wasn't really even sure of the time when I walked in. We grabbed a cart, which cost 0.25 to use btw, and went about grabbing a few things. From the back of the store I could hear a worker in the front complaining about two people walking in at 7:58 when store closes at 8:00. I took that hint and suggested that we just take what we had and go because it was now 8:02. We walked up front to the cash register and were surprised to hear her still going on about watching us struggle with the cart after she had locked them up, and how she couldn't believe we were taking our time. I wanted so badly to just leave the items in the cart and walk out, but I didn't. She realized that we were waiting at the register and turned on the over dramatic fake as she rang us up. First and last time I shop at the Aldi in...

This was my first visit to this location. The aisles were organized well and product grouping was consistent with other Aldi locations. Good selection and variety of products. It is not unusual to see product stacked in the aisles waiting to be stocked, but it seemed every aisle was rather messy around those stacks. Loose paper on the floor is a slip waiting to happen. There are 6 self-checkout registers, all of which were being used as I checked out. There was one cashier, which is not unusual. I did observe at least two employees who appeared to be shopping online orders. Overall, it was a good shopping experience and would have received 5 stars if the aisles were kept neatly. I will...
