Aldi Deceptive meat product practice

Today when I opened package to get ready to cook my pork-chops bought at the Haines City store, the bottom two chops where half fat and half gristle. I weighed the waste it came to twelve ounces. I paid $7.98 for the package. Unit price was 2.76lb. or 17.25 an ounce — Waste 12oz * 17.25 or $2.07. This is totally unacceptable. I am in the process of letting everyone know how the public is being deceived by ALdi. The unusable meat was deliberately placed on the bottom of the package to cheat the buying public.

Aldi checkout service

Several days ago I went to Aldis in Lawrence, Kansas. The checkout clerk heloed the couple in front of me bag their groceries at the checkout stand. I only had a few items. I brought my own shopping bag with me. When i tried to bag my items at the checkout counter like the couple before me, the clerk tossed my items into the bottom of my cart like they were trash, and told me to move to the side to bag my items. She then ordered me to bring the cart back when I was done. She was very disrespectful, and insulting in her behavior towards me. I would not have held up the line.

Desired outcome: Checkout clerks need to stop acting like it‘s a race. Not everyone moves at the speed of light. Courtesy to customers, not ordering customers around.

Aldi Apple Strudel

You many want to redo the directions for the strudel.

I did convection for 30 minutes and could not do that long since the top started burning.

But then when I ate it the insides were gooey and not cooked.

May want to bake it in the oven on 350 for an hour.. no 400 cook. I will buy another and try that.

I grew up on apple strudel so I won;t give up... others... might leave it all for me...LOL>

I will let you know how i do...

Helene Porath

Desired outcome: Do not get rid of the strudel for lack of interest. Gotta be a way to cook them.

Aldi Horrible attitude at stocklands burleigh shopping centre

Firstly having an online complaint process radically decreases the ability of people to complain!

I visited the Stocklands store on Sunday 7 November, I believe it was. I was returning a yoghurt container which I believe was contaminated with hair.

I approached the check out girl and her attitude was immediately aggressive. "Do you have a photo?" she said. No, I responded as it was not something together with disgust that I thought about.
Her response was "go wait over there"; no please or anything. She called for the manager.

This person was Josh (assistant manager) who I immediately advised of the attitude of the check out person. His response was "I will deal with the staff just get to what the problem is"

Where do you find these people?

I told him what the problem was & his attitude did not change - "well, do you want a replacement?"

At that point I advised him I would take it back to Miami where I purchased it as I did not want his attitude or any grief.

I did this and the attitude at Miami was totally different - it is the best store you have on the Gold Coast without doubt!

Brett the manager was polite, respectful and helpful. Thank you Brett. Aldi Miami really deserves a pat on the back all round!

I would not give you 20 cents for the approach taken by the Stocklands Burleigh staff. They were awful.

Desired outcome: Get some new staff at burleigh Stocklands and be more careful in your hiring practices

Aldi Cattleman's Ranch bacon wrapped chuck tenderloin

I have never tasted dog meat but I would not feed this item to my dog.

When I purchased this, I thought it would at least taste like meat, I
could not even explain what it tasted like as I have never tasted anything
this bad that called itself meat.

Aldi's would not honor a return because I had a delivery service deliver my groceries. They tell you the delivery service is responsible for their products.

I spend $13 and was embarrassed to serve this food.

Desired outcome: A refund of my $13

Aldi Ben and Jerry’s purchase

I'm complaining about the choice of purchasing a product that is so controversial! They have openly stated that they will no longer ship their ice cream to Israel (God's chosen people). "Those who curse Israel will be cursed themselves and those who bless Israel will be blessed"! Maybe this product should be questioned as I always thought ALDI was Christian company. Thank you for reading my concern.

The licensing agreement expires in December 2022, and Unilever will not renew it, the company said.

"Although Ben & Jerry's will no longer be sold in the OPT, we will stay in Israel through a different arrangement. We will share an update on this as soon as we're ready."

Aldi Store manager of Echuca Victoria Australia

On Wednesday 13th October 2021 around 12.30pm I entered the Echuca Aldi store to buy paint
There was no sign in sheet at the front door, as there usually at Aldi stores
I loaded the paint into my trolley and went to the check out. The cashier asked if Iscanned in, to which I replied "no".
He said he couldnt serve me and needed to get his manager. I told him that he was actually committing an offence under consumer law 94H. He said it wasnt up to him and proceeded to call his manager over
A young man with short dark hair called Josh asked the cashier what the problem was. The cashier informed the manager that I didnt scan in.
The manager paid no attention to me not even making any eye contact with me. He simply grabbed at the paint tins in my trolley and started to extremely quickly put them at the other checkout. I lowered my head down to his level and told him he was breaking the law, to which he replied "I dont care". I asked him "you dont care that you're breaking the law?" He said "no, I dont care". I asked him his name and he responded "I dont have to give you my name". He then just walked off and everybody just kept what they were doing, like this was completely normal in a democratic society.
To say I was shocked was a complete understatement
Are Aldi giving Marxist training to their managers?
Is this Australia or North Korea?
Amazingly their customer service line simply disconnects straight away and the Aldi online form is inaccessible.
A disgraceful way and a highly illegal way to conduct yourselves
Amazingly the penalty is 5 years in prison or 300 demerit points
I wonder how cocky this young manager will be in front of a judge?
I highly recommend customers spend their money elsewhere

Desired outcome: Better contact me first

Aldi Unethical behavior

I love shopping at Aldi, they have wonderful products and some things that I cannot find elsewhere.

I was in the line to check out my items on 10/8/21 at about 2:00pm at the Aldi located in Wappingers Falls, NY.

There was a man working the cash register; late 20's or 30 years old, dark hair and slightly balding with a round face.

The line was truly not as bad as I have seen, in fact only two customers waiting to check out, and there were two people managing cash registers, so shouldn't have been an issue for either the customers or the staff management.

While we were waiting in line the above mentioned young man yelled out "there are two lines, use both lines" in a very agitated manner. Meanwhile both registers were currently helping others check out. A few moments later after one more person checked out on each register, this man, very loudly and inappropriately yells out, even louder and much more impatiently "I said to use both lines, can't anyone understand, my God, then with a snarky clicking of his mouth as if to say arrrgh while rolling his eyes! This was not lost on any of the customers who were within earshot and the expressions on their faces were all telling exactly what I was thinking!

I am am recently retired and have worked in customer services my entire career and love to walk around in stores and grocery areas and I have never witnessed any behavior such as this in my life. I wouldn't be writing if I this if it were mildly inappropriate, but this was extremely over the top like he was scolding a dog or a naughty child.

I would love for this to be tended in order to sacrifice any potential inappropriateness to customers in the future. These are difficult times, yes, but we should embrace our community and not grind people into the ground with whatever isn't going your way. Just a little kindness goes a long way. No one should ever be spoken to like this.

Respectfully,

Angela D

Desired outcome: Disciplinary action with final warning to this man and most definitely Supervision

Aldi Towels and bath rugs

We purchased 4 bath sheets, 2 hand towels and 2 bath rugs from Aldi Greensborough, Vic. Australia on the 11.8.21. I washed them before use, as suggested on the labelling. They have been in use and laundered weekly since then. I was hoping that, with use, they would become more user friendly. But am finding this is not the case. The towels do not absorb moisture from the body and are ineffective as a towel. The bath rugs similarly, do not absorb moisture and feel wet and cold on the feet.
I feel that at a cost of over $100.00 they are not good value for money.
Yours Sincerely

Aldi Unnecessary line at the Doral FL Aldies

We complained last fall before I went back to ny about the lines in the store while the 5 employees were stocking shelves there was a line of 20 shoppers and one register opened.

Aldies actually called me and assured that the area manager would ensure a more efficient Aldies experience.

Well I am back at the Doral FL Aldies yesterday and nothing has changed except the customers are fewer and the line are longer.

See attached pic

Aldi 'the cake stall' light fruit cake 465g

I do all our families shopping at Emu Plains Aldi. We find your range is sufficient for our taste and your prices are very reasonable.
.
On the 21.07.21 I purchased x2 "The Cake Stall" Light Fruit Cake 425g for $2.99 each.
.
Today, Friday 6th August, whilst eating a slice of the cake I bit down on something small and very hard which caused a chip to be taken out of the top of one of my lower right teeth.
I retrieved the foreign body and examined it. It is about 3x2 mm and is like a small piece of dark coloured stone. I dont believe it is a piece of nut shell or similar because it is too hard.
.
I can see there is a chip out of the top of one of my lower right teeth and can feel the damage with my tongue. Its not hurting, thankfully, because we are all in lockdown here and I presume my dentist would be too.
.
I'm not a complainer and I understand that these things happen however I can see that I will need to have this looked at at some stage and, if it can be, the tooth repaired.
.
I am writing to bring the matter to your attention and to ask for your advice as how to proceed. I have the foreign body and have taken some pictures of it together with the cake and receipt.
.
I apologise for having to write and bring this to your attention. Your advice as to how to proceed is sought.

Regards

B. Edgecombe [protected]@tpg.com. au

Desired outcome: Examine the inclusion. Determine what it is. Obtain quotation for tooth repair. Reimburse repair tooth repair cost.

Aldi store management

First know that I found and started shopping at Aldi probably 50 years ago in Germany so was very excited when stores came to the US. I have shopped at the East Capital Dr store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, since it opened many years ago and will continue to shop there. But I just found out there is a new manager who today looked lost! Why on earth weren't one of the LONG TIME employees promoted. David and Stacey, for example, have been with the store forever. They know all the customers, are very knowledgeable and helpful and should have been promoted. Others I've mentioned this to have been very surprised that one of the many fine employees already at the store were not promoted. The new manager is not even from this store. Please reward your amazingly fine employees and give them a chance to advance.
I expect to hear from you: I am at [protected]@reunionsmag, com

Desired outcome: that you promote amazing employees already at the store.
