ALDI — Local services in West Plains

An absolute pleasure to shop at this Aldi's. I have shopped Aldi's for nearly 15 years, some better than others. This store in West Plains is clean and well attended by those overseeing the various areas/departments, as product is always well stocked and faced well in spite of the heavy traffic.

Lately all stores have been experiencing supply issues, and West Plains Aldi's has had to contend as well. Yet they do well at filling empty areas and employees always show attentiveness to customers to help them in any way they can.

The produce department never ceases to impress me. In spite of their consistent quality to codes ("clean, fresh, and full"), they do not shy from marking down packages of produce that are close to date though not showing signs of deterioration. The customer is offered top quality produce at extremely competitive prices, even with special deals thrown in from time to time.

The staff are busy like any Aldi's staff is, but at West Plains they do not appear stressed like staff appears at other stores such as a couple of Aldi's in Springfield. Customers are happy when the staff is happy, and this speaks well for the management team at West Plains Aldis.

Very pleased to have an Aldi's like this in West...

I made a trip of over 2 hours to visit Aldi's grocery store and had a rather neutral experience.

The store offered a decent selection of items, although the prices didn't leave a lasting impression.

During our visit, my mother, who had recently undergone knee surgery, encountered an unusual situation. Two workers paused to mop and sweep an area of the floor directly in front of her.

However, it was a bit puzzling when the same workers returned several minutes later, as we were about to check out, and asked us to move so they could mop the same spot again. The cashier's demeanor left much to be desired – she seemed rushed and handled the items quite carelessly while packing them excessively into the cart. This led to numerous items falling out when attempting to transport them to the vehicle.

Additionally, despite having purchased two carts' worth of items, the cashier declined our request to use the second cart, citing her own need for it. I figured with the attitude she had, she must of been having a rough day.(I could see how-being the only checker the entire time we were in there)

Overall, the experience was unremarkable, with some odd moments and less-than-ideal...

It’s always busy there but the items are always available. Enjoy the variety of items. Just bring your own bags. But helps reduce the overall cost of your food. And the shopping carts for a quarter is great. People seemed happy to say take my cart. And then when you’re finished shopping you can pass on the kindness. It’s a little thing but little things like that adds up. Reason why 4 stars instead of 5 stars. Is that the self checkout seems to make me feel rushed by saying please scan another item before you can bag the item you just scan. And it only takes cards. Which most people use even me. But you think they would have added a cash option. Would be embarrassing if you scanned your items only to realize it doesn’t take cash and that’s all you got in you. Other than that get place to get food at a...
