So we went to Aldi again. I smiled from start to finish, occasionally muttering “I’ll never come here again” to Mum, as she muttered herself last time. She concedes that while the format of the shop was different, the produce was agreeable. So we went back for some milk and “crispy aromatic duck” pancakes. Then it was time to pay.
We thought we had everything covered - we brought plastic bags so we didn’t have to pay for theirs and Mum brought cash as they don’t accept credit cards. But now a rule was introduced. You are not permitted to put your items in bags while you are at the checkout. You must put them back in the trolley and fill your bags at the designated shelf at the store entrance. Oh well, all’s well that ends well. Another phrase I don’t understand…
They do take debit cards though.
Go and shop somewhere else.
Luckily we don’t have an Aldi in Chesterfield but we have a Netto and a Lidi both of which i avoid like the plague.
