“This is the second time this has happened with an online delivery. I placed my order over 3weeks ago,I received an email saying the parcel had been dispatched. When it got to 18 days and no parcel had been delivered I emailed customer service. They sent an email saying they would look into where my parcel was. Over 3 weeks later I get a phone call telling me The parcel had been lost in transit and did I still want the items or a refund. Well two items were for Mother’s Day and were out of stock last week as I’d checked. So the customer service is shocking.”

“Simply loved the staff review a few down. It says it all doesn't it, about this nasty company. Well done!! The dry soil plants is the same in any adli store wherever you go. No surprise there then. The surprise is that the reviewer gave them three stars. Then there is a four star review for a bar of chocolate. Sigh. Never mind. We all know don't we.”

“Called yesterday to purchase a plant for Mother's Day. There were a lot of lovely plants at a good price but couldn't buy one as they were all looking sad! All because they weren't watered! Why do they stock so many and not bother with keeping them watered? Surely one staff could easily water them. I assume the plants are thrown in the skip as they are not sellable in their state. What is the point of cheap food if there is so much waste in the sale of their plants??”

“Don't work here especially if you are not local. (Must read!!) For Aldi Warehouse Queenborough (Isle of Sheppey...) Pros: (Clean) workplace apart from the canteen and toilets with the way staff treat them but it does have cleaners there. (Safe) working environment due to cameras everywhere inside and out. (Treats) - Aldi treat you at Christmas to pizza, shopping vouchers and throughout the year at other times to cakes. (Showers) - Showers are provided here which is never a bad thing in a workplace. Overtime - available sometimes but not paid usually if at all which can also be a con obviously too. Cons: Lack of hours - You are told that you will more than likely get more than 30 hours which you are contracted to but it is a lie. - You barely hit 30 most weeks (especially when management are trying to rush you out of the door so that Aldi can basically pay you a minimum wage payslip at the end of the month (based on 45 hours in other places a week) and so that they can save Aldi money and earn their bonuses. Aldi are very clever with reeling you in with a good hourly rate but not telling you all of this before you change job to join them. Lack of organisation Lack of uniform - Aldi barely give you anything and when it does come in they don't give it to who has requested it, they chuck it all on the floor so it is a free for all and everyone picks it up so you lose out or often don't get what you need and when you manage to get a hold of any the uniform is junk. The gloves don't keep your hands warm in the chilled area which you are in mainly, they get holes in them in no time, have no grip or your fingers don't go through the finger holes fully because of the design and because they are junk. Bad management - Management are only interested in themselves and getting their bonuses. They don't care about your health, ideas, concerns, or anything else you have to say unless it saves Aldi money or benefits them. They want you to pick 240 cases an hour which is achievable in most areas but no all like they say and even if you have an injury the c*cky management down there especially Ian on Pick to Zero says you can either do the job or not and they still expect you when injured which they cause in the first place by putting you under pressure to hit your targets which are raised if you are achieving them. -You can never do enough for them and they are always right. Bad pay - Your pay is up and down like a yo-yo from one month to the next. You have to average it out every 2 months or by the length of time you've been there to work out what you are being paid each month on average. - No good to anyone with a mortgage who needs a guaranteed amount every month. Aldi want to pay you as little as possible every month and managers get bonuses to reduce Aldis outgoings by rushing you out of the door and/or pick stock with you (rarely.) - To get into management you have to be lazy or no good at your job. They hook and reel people in by what they pay you an hour but what they don't tell you is that you will be rushed to get back out of the door and barely hit your 30 hours a week on contract of which they take back from you in terms of money from one month to the next if you haven't done 30 hours one week which is quite often. You also get looked at rudely and questioned like a criminal if you help out others picking during shift or at the end of shift and logistic assistants by stacking and dropping off pallets because they want you out of the door asap and don't want you trying to bump up your money. You are often told lies by management. Management tell you what you want to hear but do and think the opposite. Aldi don't pay you correctly. They try to get out of paying you overtime money and normal hours whereby possible. I am still owed overtime from the new year (3 months ago) hence why I didn't do it anymore along with the fact that you shouldn't have to do overtime to bring up your bad pay at the end of the month. Payslips - These are junk. The payslips in ways make it difficult to work out your wages (which Aldi probably want so they can not pay you if they think they can get away with it.) Staff - other normal staff has no manners some of them, leave waste on the tables in the canteen and spillages laying around. They also chuck rubbish and toilet rolls around everywhere in the toilets all over the floor. They spit unnecessarily, and leave their pee or faeces all over the toilet because they have no respect for others and are brought up badly like most people on the inbred island. Most staff are chavs and other undesirables that think they are something special. You also get staff here sticking up for Aldi and the management weirdly which I will never understand as you have to look out for yourself because other people don't look out for you especially management here. Some staff are rude and abusive here not being filtered out. Access card - you practically have to beg to get one of these as the management are useless, it's not for them so they are not bothered and when you have a bladder problem especially it is not on to have to wait months for these. Often these stop working too and then you have to wait months again. Security - these hassle you if you don't stick to the pathetic 5mph speed limit which is far too slow on such a huge site as it takes you forever to get to one side of the site to the other. These throw their weight around, some are abusive, not understanding just like management and are still there and employed somehow in the first place. You get 3 warnings for speeding over 5mph and then you have to park off-site and risk your car not getting vandalised, hit, or getting a ticket/towed away for where you park. When you are running late they don't care. Toilets - these flush every 5 seconds even when you haven't entered the cubicle like the management say with a hi-vis on as they say you should to stop the constant flushing and it's annoying when you are just trying to relax and go to the toilet on them. Foreigners - I am not racist but you can tell they don't like the English. Most are ok to you unlike at Lidl but all of them behind closed doors don't like you so it's best to avoid them where possible. Treat people as they treat you. They usually stick together away from you.”

“Prices and service still fairly good value. But cut flowers are poor: lilies fail to open, and tulips wither in 2-3 days,(The buckets in which they are displayed often contain no water, at the Chipping Norton store) Specialty cheeses often dry and stale.”

“I was going to write a not really complimentary review of this company but the previous review says it all, doesn't it. This company is as bad and as dreadful, as poorly written and awful as the review is. Why would anyone write that way is utterly beyond me.”

“Well, I got a delicious lettuce. The falafel was insanely mediocre. I like The chai Latte. The plant based chai latte. I have to say, I am dissapointed in the lack of compassion showed from the plants. The £1.69 pizza is said to be 'the. Best'pizza my friend has had and she ate a lidl, Tesco, Morrisons AnD homade pizza but yours was The Best. (Spinach and Ricotta). "Oh that does sound good" Keep on keeping on, keep your condom strong 💪”

“I simply cannot believe the things I have just read on here, especially by "anonymous" two insertions. Come on. It's the same person for sure. Then there is the complete rubbish regarding Heinz etc having got their big opportunity from this dreadful company. Some of us recall just how long Heinz has been a major player. Long before aldi was even thought of. That is how the comment comes across due to the way it is written. The same person states that they buy all their clothing at aldi. Really? What cothing do they sell then? Suits, dresses bras, pants, trousers, blouses, jumpers, cardigans, vests, to name but a few? I have only ever seen things like socks, anoraks and a few types on kids stuff, Jumper suits and some sports stuff from time to time. Is that all clothing? Don't think so. No matter how often staff members write reviews it will never drift away from the main thing, and that is that aldi sell poor quality products especially their own brand things and lesser known brands. It is how they make their money, same as Lidl. If you want quality you have to pay for it.”

“Please stop changing you basic food items to inferior ones - eg mature cheddar, now way too salty the other was a lot better. Chicken tikka etc ready meals, the new supplier is far inferior quality product and it certainly isn’t cooked on 20mins. Yogurt, who wants mince meat flavour even at Xmas? Please stick to the better quality suppliers.”

“Some food items good, but why do they change the suppliers of products for inferior ones? Mature cheddar, was lovely, but have now changed to one with Welsh milk. It is very very salty tasting. Also changed ready meal chicken tikka etc and the new supplier isn’t as good quality, very runny sauce and it certainly isn’t cooked in 20mins! I agree with other reviewers that the checkout is very fast, you need to put the products in your trolly then sort out after you have paid, which is abit of a bind!”

“What's not to love? Amazing prices and superior products. Some people look down on non branded items but from experience they are more often than not a lot better than the big boys. Remember, Heinz started small as did Coke, Pepsi and many others. It wasn't until a company like Aldi gave them a chance to sell their products that they became famous. Just because you don't know the name doesn't mean it isn't top quality. I love shopping at Aldi for this reason, the products they offer really are different and better. The low prices help so much and I look forward every week to going shopping now. I am a big fan of the special buys and all of my clothing is also from Aldi. If you have not tried Aldi yet you are missing out.”

“Aldi charged me for an item I did not purchase and have refused to refund me the money they effectively stole from me. This happened due to their till process. They have accepted responsibility but do not care to resolve the matter. My advice is don't risk shopping at Aldi, in my experience if something goes wrong they will refuse to refund. Appalling.”
