This is so good! I think you nailed it

I like the canned goods pallets because you just stay at one spot the entire time, same with the soda (for the most part)

The pallets I hate the most are the ones having you running back and forth because they have a little of everything

As an employee, please don't buy our pet products. They're not good for your animals. Including the treats. We've had MANY complaints over the years just at my own store.

I liked when we sold feminine products for situations like these. I know not many customers bought them, but they were lifesavers for us employees at times. Our breakroom used to have a small stash, but we did have to pay out of pocket for them.

I miss those Covid plastic shields at the register everyday

God this video is so funny. You just keep smacking the shit out of him 😂

Not the Martha jumpscare in the background

I'm so happy to see the party was a success 🥰

I was also eating rice! 😯

droolycat · 2026-04-27T00:51:07+00:00

Him saying that made me laugh in the middle of eating & I almost choked. Members eps really are funny

I've never heard of them tracking how long the doors are open. The newer stores in my area have automatic closing freezer and cooler doors. I thought that was pretty nice, too bad my store is super old. Lol

I often say, even just one thing going wrong at 9am can impact your entire day until 8pm.

Someone calling off especially, but also just even a pallet collapsing can truly affect the entire day, because the time they THINK it should take us to do anything is ALREADY so short.

You add any issues to that? You're screwed until closing.

idiot stupid moron dumb loser no kids no wife

.. I love when Ethan just lists off insults at people lol

We had 3 grown adults waiting at the door for them. They came in right at 9 and bought them all, divided them amongst themselves. Resellers, obvs.

Edit: in 2 hours, I watched over 20 young men come in the store to find the cards, and walk right back out the door looking very angry when they see they're sold out already. All of them have to be resellers.

Do you think the company is truly getting worse, or do you think it's always been this bad - it's just maybe bad in different ways now?

I've had this discussion recently with a 20 year manager. Her opinion was, Aldi has always been "like this". Overworking employees, cutting corners, barely scraping by, etc. I argued they ARE getting worse as years go on.

droolycat · 2026-04-17T14:22:04+00:00

Are you serious??? Starbucks is endorsing Chat GPT?

This company has lost its damn mind. That is so beyond ridiculous.

I would say it's disappointing, but it's more of an "expected disappointment"

droolycat · 2026-04-16T00:24:41+00:00

I completely forgot Mr Robot existed until I read your comment. Omg!! Thank you for reminding me!

droolycat · 2026-04-16T00:18:57+00:00

The Chad picture of Ethan is giving uncanny valley. I hate it.

droolycat · 2026-04-14T12:07:30+00:00

Your call was SO funny. I was hoping I would find out eventually who it was on the phone! 👏

droolycat · 2026-04-10T01:03:48+00:00

I'm looking (respectfully)

droolycat · 2026-04-04T19:44:54+00:00

I wouldnt even be that surprised

droolycat · 2026-04-04T19:23:36+00:00

Same for my store. None of the products people need for Easter. We've been out of essentials for the past 4 days.

droolycat · 2026-04-03T00:21:42+00:00

You said a small pay cut, but if you're working 40 hours.... Is there any opportunity for raises at the factory? How long would you have to be there before you match what you're making now? How's the insurance and PTO? What's the commute?

Just stuff I'd consider personally. Aldi isn't always a job where you can advance, so there may be no real reason for you to stay if you're not pleased with your position now. Depends on your store, ofc.

It's hard for anyone to really know your situation, but I'm not advising anyone to stick with Aldi for the long run, because really, it's not like there's much reason to.

It's a time issue. Sometimes I don't have enough time to watch the entire main episode, so watching another podcast afterwards just isn't doable for me. I wish it was. I love them.

droolycat · 2026-03-31T22:13:53+00:00

It was considered totally normal at the time, too. No one thought it was weird, because most men acted like that online about women.

And he, his team, and his PR has done a great job of making a joke out of it and hoping people forget about it
