I've had experience, you keep having to get someone to override it, I sometimes just fill the pannier afterward than go through that stress.

Not only did the first Aldi shops have the staff remembering prices, they didn't take cards either. I remember reading somewhere they are expected to scan 1000 items/hour.
I go there irregularly, mostly to stock up on maple and pecan breakfast crunch. And gin obviously. It's nice to actually have something a bit different from the big supermarkets to choose from..
And as for Aldi/ASDA debate. ASDA are part of Walmart, and their customers are well.... err..link, and even better link

I thought of this thread when the Two Ronnies/Cleese 'Class' sketch appeared on the Martin Amis program tonight.
I shop at Aldi so I guess I know my place.

I love Lidl and Aldi chocolateI don't care about queues, checkout speed , if the place smells, surly staff and all the other gripes mentioned all through this thread.
I shop where I can get quality cheap and each shop has its own must buys...
You get to know them.....
must admit Lidl's chocolate is fantastic value

Was in the Asda from Hull on Sunday. It's survival of the fittest just to park the car! Certainly not civilised in my book.
I must admit to being slightly biased against Asda simply because of the reports about their US owners, Walmart. However, as they have to compete in the UK it does seem they have to treat their staff rather better over here. But maybe that is trespassing on CAD turf

Makes our supermarkets look like beacons of normality, having said that Tesco are now making a stand against Pyjamas and nightwear in their stores

However linked with the story about Pyjamas it illustrates quite clearly why we have to set standards NOW

The last time I went into an Asda, there were customers walking around smoking spliffs, and no-one apart from me seemed to think it was unusual !
However, I do think it was more to do with location rather than the supermarket.

Before we watch our pennies, shopped in ASDA...weekly shop cost varied between £80-100.
We now watch our pennies as other half isnt working as she has been diagnosed with 'being a mother'. ALDI shop for the same amount of goods £50-70.
The two stores are 2 miles apart so no biggie there. And if you get there early on a Saturday morning, most of the chavs arent awake yet so it is nice and quiet. Would rather save a couple of quid than worry about who I am sharing the aisles with.

Thousands queue for jobs at Aldi:
"[Aldi] is searching for stock and store assistants to work at existing West Midlands stores as well as at a new store opening in Wolverhampton.
The interviews, which were being held at Brierley Hill in Dudley on Friday, were due to start at 1pm, but jobseekers started queuing as early as 10am, according to reports.
A store assistant earns between £7.95 and £9.50, according to Aldi’s website, and applicants would work a minimum of 20 hours a week."
They should get some pretty good people

You sure there wasn't a cycling promo on when the picture was taken?
