Stepping foot in an Aldi makes me feel like I'm in a favela
Same feeling I get in a dollar general
Extreme 3rd world vibes

And Walmarts are Pantheons or what

>>212008226 (OP)
Well they tend to be situated in ghettos and staffed by those indigenous to them

>>212008226 (OP)
Just jerk off to Edi Rama and you will be fine

>>212008256
Walmarts are the rural/suburban but also feel third world.

Only time I went to one recently there were multiple people arguing with the security guards. I exclusively patronize Publix/Whole Foods/Trader Joes for groceries and Target for supermarket things now.

I feel like I’m in new dehli

>>212008226 (OP)
it's because you live in a multi ethnic 3rd world shithole. it's doesn't help either that you legalized shoplifting because it'd be racist to tell Shaniqua to put those Hennessy bottles down.

American status anxiety is so funny because they don't realize how embarrassing is it to witness.
In the rest of the world it is not a big deal to be just a regular guy but having visible status anxiety is deeply embarrassing. In the US it seems to be the exact other way around.

I used Aldi in Spain. The entrance could not be opened from the inside and there was a guard standing at the exit. The reason for this was to watch for customers who leave without shopping. That was not the case in other Spanish supermarkets or Carrefour. Is this a German fetish or something?

>>212008226 (OP)
i fucking hate aldi, i prefer rewe or even lidl over it any day.

>>212008844
never saw this here, must be a spanish thing.

>>212008928
rewe is clearly superior, its where I always went when I lived in Germany

The Lidls in Germany also feel ghetto

>>212008837

>>212008844
I have no clue what the fuck are you talking about, never seen something like that.

>>212008674
Trader joes is also aldi (the other aldi)

>>212008982
>The Lidls in Germany also feel ghetto
i guess you mistake this with penny, these are fucking ghetto shops.

No, that's just your country.

>>212008226 (OP)
I don't like aldi's because don't carry coins with me and can't use the shopping carts

Aldi has one of everything and it's cheap and quality is okay.

I'm not a housewife or some obese retard so it's great for me because I can go in and get everything quickly and it's cheaper than other supermarkets.

They have the same owner but they're nothing alike.
Trader Joes positions themselves in high education areas and targets young middle class shoppers. Trader Joes also has maximum space efficiency, a departure from many other American supermarkets. Aldi positions themselves in the lowest income areas.

>>212008844
>stores having security guards
here, only the biggest Tescos have security personnel, but only because they have ATMs inside store perimeters, not because of rampant shoplifting. I haven't seen any in regular food stores because they aren't needed.
maybe you people are the problem.

>>212008226 (OP)
The Aldis i have been to have all been clean, organized, fully staffed, and pleasant. Don't you dare compare them to D*llar G*neral. Those shitty stores are left understaffed by as little as 1 employee for the whole store sometimes, and they have little time to clean or restock.

Not a huge fan of Aldi because they don't tend to carry the stuff I'm looking for if it's more than just basic ingredients or boxed processed stuff. I also tend to not have coins on me because I always give them to elderly people in the parking lot who need them kek

>>212009181
my mom is addicted to Trader Joe's but hates Whole Foods

>>212009266
Whole Foods is worse so that's a fair opinion.

>>212009029
That's like saying Budweiser and Stella are the same thing because they're owned by the same company.

>>212009023
>>212008966
As I recall it was Lidl, not Aldi. Apparently there are stores of this type in UK too.

>New security measures have been introduced at some UK stores, including a one-way barrier at the exit. Customers must scan a barcode on their receipt at the self-checkout before they can leave the store and signs above the checkouts warn customers to keep their receipt to operate the exit gates.

>>212009181
Not the same owner, one is Aldi south and the other is aldi north, which are separate

>>212009131
This. Their store is the perfect size. A decent variety of food without being massive. 3 aisles to get what you need and get out fast.

>>212008674
>I exclusively patronize Publix/Whole Foods/Trader Joes for groceries and Target for supermarket things now
Okay Richie Rich, I bet it must be nice, fuckin' asshole

>>212009303
No, it's literally rebranded Aldi.

>>212009444
my question is how do they keep getting away with it?

>>212009211
Nah, there are security people in many stores, maybe you just did not notice

>>212009353
Must be anti rapefugee stuff, is hilarious to see this happening in real time.

>English Mustard (made in Germany)

>>212009658
>Champagne, made in Napa valley, California :O
>English mustard, Germany :/

Aldi has decent meat and produce for cheap. Why do people hate it?

>>212009853
They're all in the ghetto

>>212009853
>Why do people hate it?
stores looks the same, unfriendly personal, prices are not correct and vegetables and fruits sucks. that is why i go to rewe, its more expensive, at least you don't have to deal with all this shit.

>>212009709
You can produce sparkling wine whenever you want, just not name it champagne

>>212010136
Here aldi is a tad more expensive than Lidl. I remember being in Berlin and shopping in another discounter but I can't remember it's name, it looked a bit more run down,could it be an Edeka?

It’s German week at Aldi here

>>212008226 (OP)
Same reason they had to close all their stores in denmark, no one wanted to shop there. The store looks so shitty, but the prices aint that lower compared to other stores.

>>212011103
Edeka is not a discounter. Norma is like the bottom of the barrel.

They recently added a tiny little clear computer-controlled gate at the exit to the self checkouts. I guess the store is "transit lobby" themed.

>>212008226 (OP)
among the folk i grew up with, aldis junk food was such a cheap luxury commodity that kids had the 'Clancy's' blurb on the back of the bags memorized

>>212011613
i like the spicy liverwurst
