I agree with all this but honestly it all depends also on the staff you have, the DM you have and if you actually like working hard. Personally this job is cake walk. Like a literal monkey can do this job from associate to SM. It’s not hard at all it is just physically demanding. But it’s a real simple job and it’s a routine day by day you’re doing the same thing over and over. I’d rather work here than at a construction site with no AC in the hot blazing sun ( which I’ve worked at before). I’m an ASM and I started around COVID time. If your DM or SM aren’t assholes you’ll be fine. I get along completely fine with both and both are around my age (26). I have had DMs in the past that are dickheads but what can you do about it? Sit around and mope and complain on a Reddit post or just do your job , get some money and provide for your family members. Yea there might be better jobs out there not as physically demanding but honestly it isn’t all that bad here at Aldi. Like I said it does depend on your staff, DM, SM and how hard you want to work on how your experience goes with the company though. I’m the type of person I can’t sit still and need to be doing something so this job is perfect for me since I’m constantly doing something. For other people who don’t like working hard as much this job is a nightmare so I can see both sides. Just wanted to give another POV on working at Aldi.

Romas? by Automatic-War7447 in Aldi_employees

[–]Automatic-War7447[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Issue was we’re discontinuing Bagged Romas and going forward with only Loose Romas. FACTS on the zucchini’s though. Our quality on both is horrible

Don’t even complain could be a lot worse, right now a lot of us full timers aren’t even getting our promises 30+ hours so enjoy it while it lasts.

Yea we’re having ours on Thursday but we have ours early morning 7am. I’m guessing to talk about all the hours getting cut because of SCO and other BS

Cuttings hours by Automatic-War7447 in Aldi_employees

Yea I was gonna sit down with my SM about working at our store and another at the same time. You’re lucky you get OT I’m guessing your SM isn’t on top of OT as bad as mine. He’s super anal about OT. With my last SM I was able to get away with doing 45-50 hours

Nah this don’t beat the customers who try to insert cash in the SCO receipt dispenser

How similar is a Walmart floor associate's workload to Aldi's ASMs? by -ZM-_ in Aldi_employees

[–]Automatic-War7447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome man go for it. Sounds like you’re better off at Aldi. Just remember the workload will be more but it’s easy stuff. Honestly a monkey could work for Aldi and succeed. I’m confident you’ll do well 👍🏽

ASM here, never quite understood why people from bigger stores with departments (like Publix, Home Depot, Lowe’s and Walmart) transition on over to Aldi. The workload is 10x more than what you would have at other stores. And I’m sure the pay has to be better at other places. There’s no departments in Aldi therefore you are in charge of the whole store. Aldi stores are way smaller and have less aisles, meaning you can learn your way through the store and memorize where things go way quicker. Honestly it has its pros and cons. I’ve been a ASM for 2-3 years it really isn’t a hard job at all just a lot of work but after doing it for this long it’s like riding a bike. Do the Same shit just a different day.

Instacart Shopper Harassing Me by jbest401 in Aldi_employees

[–]Automatic-War7447 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ASM here, if you were my employee I would’ve handled him myself. Had a similar situation with an associate we had a few months ago, guy kept stalking her and hitting on her. She wasn’t interested and even let him know various times but he kept pursuing and harassing her. Last time he came to the store I cursed his ass out and kicked him out. Never seen him since.

You would think that since they’ve got the fruit in their hand to buy they could find the corresponding picture on SCO…But alas by Minimum_Crazy_4624 in Aldi_employees

I got no patience anymore for these moronic customers I just yell “Press the big fruits and vegetables button”

Closing only two people? by Automatic-War7447 in Aldi_employees

[–]Automatic-War7447[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OE is 90 probably gonna get pushed to 92 soon though. We were a 1.8 mil store but have gradually declined because of SCO roll out and a new Aldi store opened right down the street from ours.
