Terrible store in Dover, but from what I am told it is the same in most of them. Ok, so their items are cheaper than most, but then so is the quality bad. In fact one saves very little in reality. I think people have it in their head that good deals abound in Aldi. They pop in, buy stuff, and are convinced it is not only cheaper but also better quality. Not true, unless one has taste bud problems. Fresh produce, not all of it though, can be fair quality, but do look out for the lack of best before and sell by dates. They are there but in a code form which mostly it is only staff who know. You can find them online. Write them down and be surprised how much you no longer buy. However, the worse thing about Aldi is the disgraceful attitude of checkout staff and the ludicrous way the checkouts are designed, for high speed. Don't be afraid to rearrange your trolley after they have put it right for you, which is wrong. The best angle for the trolley is the way you want it. You are under no obligation to pack at the packing bars so don't be intimidated. See beyond the smiles to the sarcasm underneath and do it your way. There was a time when Aldi checkout staff had to memorise the price of every single item in stock, in the Netherlands anyway. They only stopped when forced to do so. Health and safety for staff in Aldi stores? Non existent. Well it is there but staff simply cannot comply because of pressure to fill those shelves up. This from a staff member. Never mind. I just wanted to say my piece about a shoddy company.
