ALDI — Local services in Washington Court House

I will preface by saying I haven't been to aldi in probably 14 years, so it's essentially a new experience.

The positive: store was fairly clean, and had a variety with decent prices.

The negative: when we got up to the register no one was in sight, and I wasn't sure which lane to be in. The lights at the register don't light up. I went to the one that had no sign on the scanner, but working retail for many years, I know that is often an oversight. I waited for about 5 minutes and when there were 3 people in line I raised my voice and said, "hello?" To let whomever was there know there were people waiting.

A woman said, "I'm right here!" And came around the corner carrying a clipboard, presumably doing an order. Okay, great. She asked in a really rude, short tone, "well, are you going to unload?!" Before she made it up. I explained that I wanted to make sure I was in the right lane and she rolled her eyes and picked up a sign on top of the end cap, rolled her eyes and said, "it says open. Right here." Then she flung and tossed everything into the cart with more passive aggressive aggravation than I would have thought possible. My sparkling water is flat, my chips crushed and the hotdog buns smooshed.

So store itself, great! Customer service/employee...

I love Aldis. I go every week and buy everything on my list That they carry there. Then I go to Walmart to finish my grocery shopping. Aldis doesn’t have a huge selection like other grocery store chains, you have to rent your cart for a quarter and bag your own groceries, but those things are what keeps their prices so low. To my recollection I’ve never gotten anything from Aldis I didn’t like. They have specialty foods that are wonderful. The only problem is that I don’t know from week to week if they’ll have them again. But that keeps them special and I can remedy that by buying them when they do have them. One thing you don’t want to do while shopping at Aldis is to buy name brand items. You’ll pay much more at Aldis for those items than other stores. Otherwise I get everything I can there and save significantly. Due to health problems last year I stopped going to Aldis. I didn’t have the energy to go to more than one store. When I stopped I went from spending $250-$300/ week to $400+/ week. So thankful I can shop both stores again. I missed that huge savings!! Plus I missed their cool specialty stuff too. I’m a happy...

If you aren't getting your staple food here (milk, coffee, bread, meat, butter, eggs, etc) then you are wasting money. Less expensive than Walmart and great quality. Important to me: They don't carry any products with MSG (monosodium glutamate). Also, they have a pretty impressive little section for things like hummus, fresh mozzarella, olives, etc. Things to remember: they take debit cards but do not take credit cards. Also, you have to bring your own boxes or bags for your food, or you will have to buy them there. You can buy a big, sturdy, reusable, plastic bag with handles for about a dollar. Paper bags are like 10 cents or something. Or, you can grab empty boxes from around the store and use those. It's sort of like a smaller, less trendy version of Trader Joe's, except Aldi also has a section of toys and household items at super...
