ALDI — Local services in Newington

I took a trip to Aldi's Grocery store for the first time with a friend of mine and was impressed! As,well as a little surprised when I went to retrieve a shopping cart to do my grocery shopping with. The grocery carts were chained together with a short strand of chain attaching each cart together with the cart before it and required a QUARTER to release the chain lock that was keeping it prisoner. The slot for the QUARTER was on the handle that you hold and stare your grocery cart. I found the facility very clean and the variety and quality of the food that we purchased very good! The staff was very attuned to how and what they had to offer and our cashier was very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained that ALDI'S does not provide grocery bags for your purchase and that you have to pack your groceries your self into the bags and or boxes that you provide. I feel that we got some really good deals! Oh, and when you return the grocery cart to the cart return and reattach cart to locking system at the cart return, YOU GET YOUR QUARTER BACK! It automatically pushes the quarter back out of the slot that you initially put the quarter into the slot that released your cart in the first place. I hope...

I was doing an insta cart order and the girl working there was being very rude and unhelpful. At the time I was aware the store was closing soon so I was rushing as fast as I could to get the items for the customer on Instacart, the worker kept following me around and harassing me about checking out even tho there was still a few minutes left till 8. I had told her I’m doing an instacart order and I can’t just not grab items for the customer. She had rushed me so I had to replace items for the customer and it hadn’t refreshed yet to confirm it on the app once I got to check out, the Instacart declines because I was being rushed and customer didn’t confirm certain things on the app because the worker had given no time. I kindly tell her I’ll give to give Instacart a call ( as of me saying mind as well just give up at this point and cancel the order ) and she goes “ UH MAM I CANT LET YOU DO THAT” girl…. Excuse me first offs you don’t need to yell and second offs this is ur fault. If you didn’t rush ur customers out of the store when it’s only 7:55 and they have one more item to grab then I wouldn’t even have to call Instacart. Ended up canceling the order, customer never got their stuff and I...

I love ALDI. In-store or on-line, shopping is fun and easy. In-store always has surprises in the ALDI Finds aisle, produce is beautiful, and every in-house brand is far better taste/quality than any other. Prices are excellent, even for lux items and many products have a double guarantee: if not satisfied, they replace item and refund cost.

To start - carts are outside, by the door, in a covered area. To encourage returning carts, it is a quarter to unlock, but you get that back when cart is returned. As ALDI is environmentally conscious, bring your own bags, but they also have have several bag choices to purchase: Brown paper (.07), Plastic (. 10, so worth it), Totes (1.99), Insulated (1.00). Check out is fast, quick and easy. You bag your items after check out at a huge area across from registers (no more cans squishing the bread). Oh - there is a fun/silly tradition of fans crow calling "caw, caw" to find...
