ALDI — Local services in Elizabeth City

This store is not the typical Aldi. For more than 20 years we have shopped Aldi. We seek Aldi out from NJ to Fla and points west as we travel camping or timesharing.

The bananas should have been in the garbage, the tomatoes on the vine were in open packages, bruised, and not fit to buy. They stock this store by bringing pallets from the storeroom which block aisles have 4 employees stocking carrying items around. With only one checkout open I counted 16 people in line back to the refrigerated cases. There was a broken glass olive jar in the checkout aile that was open and the girl called for liquid clean up but the manager came out with a broom and dust pan almost pushed me over told others who haf items on the counter to back up. Never ever expetienced this!

The parking lot has the same broken mens watch that was there the day the store opened. The landscape mulch is around car tire bumpets like snow. The carriage area is littered with flyers, boxes, and other debris.

On as recent trip the organic mandrin oranges were listed in the flyer and email as 2.29. They checked out at over 4 dollers. I brought this to the attention of the check out person who called the manager. She cam out and said they were organic. I agreed abd showed her the flier we had with us. She left and let me stand there. I waited in the check out aile. After along period she returned and told the girl to give me my money back and charge me the flyer price.

We make a list before going to the store with specials from emails. This speeds shoping tine and...

I was overcharged by $15 for 11 products. The cashier only credited me for 1 and charged me for the other 11 items I did not get. I had to spend an additional 15 minutes going through 96 cans to make sure I didn't have damaged product. Two of the 48 count cases of tuna cans I sorted through had obviously been dropped because nearly every can was dented and many of the cans were put back upside down. Although I did not find the source, I found 3 cans that were wet with tuna juice. After going through all of them I found an employee and gave them the 3 cans that had tuna juice on them. The poor girl looked stunned like she did not know what to do with them. Unfortunately, I will have to drive an hour, 45 miles to get back to this aldi's that I only go to a few times a year to get my $15 dollars credited back onto my credit card. The time this will cost me is valued at 20 times the coat of thus mistake, not including the gas. This was an extremely costly mistake that Aldi's has done to me. If I could give negative stars, I would. I shop there to save money for our local food pantry that I work for as a volunteer. By the way my purchase was for more than $1,000. The fact you have no way to contact anyone at this store is worth 5 more negative stars alone! EXTREMELY...

I have been in here twice around the time they first opened months ago. I am not a fan having to put a quarter in the cart to get a cart concept or having to get it back ...nor a fan of having to bring my own bags to shop here or buy their bags. I do not like how they tend to put everything in the top when you checkout where children usually sit because most of the groceries fall into the big part of the cart - annoying. They had some decent things and I did buy some stuff to try out but I did not like this place nor its products enough to go back again and deal with the cart and checkout process. Some of their prices are cheaper than Wal-Mart, some are the same. I price checked stuff when I was walking around the store on my 2nd visit when I got bored when I drove a relative...
