ALDI — Local services in Muskogee

Just wanna say a huge thank you to the guy who checked us out at Aldis, about 10:45 this am. My 2 yr old son is autistic and has sensory processing disorder. He was fine when we left to grocery shop and usually does very well with the arsenal of toys I bring for him, including my phone. Apparantly he was much more tired than I expected and quickly became overwhelmed by everything... the sights, the sounds, the air temporature, basically anything and everything became a trigger. He kept trying to get out of the basket, stood up in the seat and the seat belt was tangled in the seat so I could not get it on him. He was crying and wailing and wanted to be held but I couldn't hold him AND finish the shopping. I was near tears (and the fact y'all were out of plastic bags nearly sent me over the edge and I do not even know why, lol) and I actually contemplated just leaving. But you came around the counter and unloaded my cart onto the conveyor for me while I wrangled my kid. I was literally at my wits end by then and ready to just walk off and skip the groceries, and would have had you not jumped up and helped me unload. So, thank you for unloading my cart for me even if it did hold up four other people who had gotten in line, I apologize to them but am very grateful they did not send dirty looks or make remarks. Thank you for not unloading all the cans from the cardboard box where I had put them to carry easier. I saw you hesitate and consider it then pick each one up, ring it up, and put it back in the box so I would not have to do it again myself. I did notice. My son kept trying to touch the keys on your register and you were kind to him and distracted him without hurting his feelings. He is basically nonverbal but he knows exactly what you say. He also LOVES numbers, loves to touch everything, and loves to see what happens if he pushes buttons so for him he can barely contain himself, not to mention he will only be two on the 9th of May, in 6 days. He is a sensory seeker meaning he thrives on external input (to a degree until it becomes too much). We managed to pay, get bagged and leave without much more fuss. But seriously, had you not been patient enough to just unload my cart for me I might just have left in a puddle of tears without any groceries. So this tired momma is grateful for the gesture, grateful you were kind to my son, and grateful I do not have to make a second attempt at groceries. It is nice to know humanity does...

The DOPEST find of my life and probably the best addition Muskogee could have added. I have been to the store twice - once with my husband and 3 kids and the second time today with my 3 year old daughter. The first time we decided to see what the hype was about we were taken aback by the need for a quarter to RENT a cart (yes, rent, not "buy", as some other reviewers complained about in previous reviews) ... that you DO get back at the end of your shopping experience (which, by the way, in my opinion, is a genius way to avoid stray carts that people have failed to return from rolling into customers' cars) and the need to bring your own bag or boxes (or you can purchase their reusable sacks for your subsequent visits very reasonably) but the prices on organic, gourmet-quality, healthy items that cost double or triple the amount in stores is well worth the, haha, "inconvenience" of having to bag your own groceries or "watch lazy workers sit down while scanning items" (please at least know how to conduct a sentence that doesn't cause the reader an aneurysm and have an IQ at or above 60 if you want your review to hold any relevance whatsoever). If you're personally a fan of paying double or triple the amount of money that many people who have reviewed clearly act like they don't have if spending a quarter on a cart (that you get back afterward, mind you) is putting you out ... then by all means, go to WalMart or Homeland and buy as many preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, and pesticide-laden wilted produce that your hearts desire, leaving you broke and hungry a week later. We have become a very lazy society. We complain about things like having to wipe our own asses and bag our own groceries like the world owes us something. A sad way to live. I am completely physically and emotionally capable of bagging my own groceries just as I am putting it in my cart and taking it out when I get home. I prefer stocking up for a month on what would only feed my family for a week elsewhere. Amazing store. I hope it never goes out of business because people are too lazy to bag their...

Very pleased with the products.. staff is very friendly....... Normally Aldi's only has two employees in their store but with the holidays coming I saw several of them and they are very helpful.. the eggs were the least expensive that I have found anywhere and I found three double yokers in one package! I also got 100% Colombian coffee for $7.99 and Walmart was selling Folgers 100% coffee for $13.98 .. I actually like the taste of all these coffee as opposed to Folgers...so .... Also the goodies in the freezers are very tasty.. I bought a package of empanadas thinking that they were just a little bit too high until I cook them and found out what a value they are.. very delicious with just the right amount of spices.. don't forget that you need a quarter to get your 🛒 and you'll need to bring your own bags to put your groceries in. The four stars is the cart situation. Other than that five stars to the employees and choice of foods and goodies.... Saturdays is a very busy day and not my favorite for shopping at Aldi's.. if you have some kind of disability that freaks you out and crowds stay away from all...
