ALDI — Local services in Monroeville

Every time I’m there (2-4 times per month), the cleanliness and quality control does not seem to be a priority. It’s one thing to see a few moldy grapes, but there’s always several sections (tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, etc.) that are either rotting or squashed or molding, often with flies hanging around. There have also been a couple occasions where the raw meats, deli meats, and cheeses didn’t look right. The last time I was there last week, I almost didn’t get any produce because of how bad everything looked. I do know someone who has worked at a different Aldi within the last year so I know that this is not simply a supply/factory issue. I also have gone to other ALDIs fairly often since I was a child and Ive never run into this issue. I’m not the kind to leave reviews, especially not bad ones, but I really hope this changes because I do frequent this location out of convenience, and it’s not like I can avoid it because everyone needs groceries. I do want to add that the employees are always busy and working hard. They’re always kind and attentive to any question or issue I’ve ever brought forth to them. I’m just concerned that priorities are not where they should be considering it’s a grocery store with an uncomfortable amount of rotting and...

Aldi, as a company, is good. Their prices are really low compared to other stores. But this particular Aldi is lacking in a lot of ways! It’s usually filthy, which is surprising because it’s not very old. The produce and meat go bad long before expiration dates. While I appreciate the twice as nice guarantee, this problem is so consistent that I don’t want to have to drive back all the time to replace things that should still be good.

The purchase limits also make no sense. I can leave and come back the next day to buy more eggs or whatever. This does nothing but benefit people who live closer and can just come back for more later in the day or the next day.

Finally, the staff are just rude. As others have said, they brush past you in the aisles. I’ve been hit with boxes they’re clearing. If you need help, they don’t communicate what’s going on, they just walk away. I’ve never had a positive experience with them, and I’ve been coming here since this one opened.

Unfortunately, this is the closest Aldi to me by a long shot. But if you have another closer to you, highly recommend going to that...

Had tried to buy a turkey without the tag. I went to ask one of the staff if they could get me price on it and he said he couldn’t sell it and I had to get one with a tag even though they weren’t in my budget. Upon returning with my extra expensive turkey he ordered me to go check out with the person rather than use self check out. I felt very uncomfortable with this considering it felt racially motivated as I literally went up and ASKED about the turkey in no way would that require me to need supervision with my purchase. He completely stepped out of line and went on a power trip for no reason other than seeing a black person snd assuming they were going to something wrong. This experience has made me so uncomfortable I can’t go to this...
