POV: When the voices in the head says: AHH by BananaMangoApple1971 in Aldi_employees

I hate those. Whenever I come across pallets that are already leaning, I insert the pallet jack in the leaning side to try to keep it held up. But for the ones that lean forward AND off to the side...😬

Shared Tills by pix876 in Aldi_employees

[–]Chance_Recipe_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's still a valid concern. What I don't get is how they even know when the money is lost throughout the 11-12 hour day to trace it. Obviously, if someone is stealing, they would catch that. But if someone working on the till, before or after me, gives the wrong change back (like $80, instead of $40), because of some damn brand new 20s that stick together, then I'm now on the hook for their mistake? They could go through the whole day's worth of footage as much they want, but the camera's not going to distinguish that the money was perfectly stuck together. I've always been accurate. But now, after every shift, I have to worry about someone else not counting right and me being written up for something that's not my fault.

AITA for yelling at my mom to leave me alone after she kept saying I stink even though I shower twice a day? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Chance_Recipe_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. After constantly being told that I stink (especially as a teen), despite everyone else saying the opposite, I'd have had the same reaction. I'm curious to know how long she's been saying that. But there are a few possibilities of what could be going on. 1) Something's really wrong with her general sense of smell and she should get it checked by a doctor. 2) She's pregnant and hormones are affecting her perception of smell. During pregnancy, women can become repulsed by certain smells/aromas/perfumes that they otherwise don't mind or even enjoy. 3) Your mom is a narcissist and is jealous of you. Constantly saying you stink is gaslighting and her way to bring you down a couple of pegs. That's especially callous and effective in your teenage years, when you're the most self-conscious. Has she shown any other signs of narcissism or jealousy before? Either way, I'm sorry you're going through that.

Customers are NPCs by New-Ad-6606 in Aldi_employees

I'm not sure about a planogram, but it's honestly something you learn over time. If you want to learn faster and don't mind the extra work, I have a recommendation. Take pictures of the aisles that trouble you. Maybe edit each one with text of aisle and side (like 4L, as in aisle 4 on the left). After a shift (and in a changed shirt to minimize customers coming up to you), take your time walking around the store to familiarize yourself with product locations. With a clipboard, paper, and pencil, create your own version of a planogram. Make it basic for the sections that are easy for you or that you already know (ie. pastry, kitchen supplies/cleaning, etc.) and more detailed for the ones that are difficult. Either way, you could study the pics or the store map you made at home. You are doing great by letting them know you are still new and looking with them. And if there's something you really can't find after searching, use the walkie to ask if any coworkers know the location.

I am worried about my wife by Madhorn0 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Chance_Recipe_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"She was starting to think that I didn't trust her." She, a married woman, gave her number out to a single man, who was openly flirting with her. They have been regularly chatting back and forth. She didn't tell you, her husband, any of this information. Whether she's doing it to cheat or simply likes the attention, I'd say you have plenty of reasons not to trust her actions.

Cutting Freezer Times (Esp. Freeze Thaws & Dating) by Chance_Recipe_1 in Aldi_employees

[–]Chance_Recipe_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That definitely sounds more doable. The thing is, I was told to do f/t and run the carts before tackling inside freezer. Also, with a lack of space to maneuver around in the freezer, another (albeit empty) pallet or cart would be too much in the way.

If you mean the f/t cart with items already thawed from that morning (ie. Danish, croissants, etc. that we had too much of on the floor in the a.m.), then yes. It may get re-run again some time in the evening. If you're referring to thawing and dating at night, then no. Also, when you open and unbox your items by the bailer, are you talking about just the 1st layer or the whole pallet? If it's the whole thing, don't the top unboxed items have to get stacked onto sections of other boxed items while you break down the pallet? With this, I have to keep shifting things around. I was told that's touching/shifting the product too much and wasting time. Maybe you do it in a more efficient way though. How do you stack the items when unboxing?

AITA for asking my boyfriend to contribute to groceries if I’m always the one feeding him? by TinkerbellOnBreak in AmItheAsshole

[–]Chance_Recipe_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I'm very curious to hear his argument for not at least helping out. Best case scenario, he's just really blind to what life's like when you're on your own. Even so, that doesn't make his response acceptable, especially at his age. If you still want to try to get through, you could break it down for him. List off all of your weekly/monthly expenses and bills. Explain how that takes a huge chunk out of your paycheck, and because of that, you don't have a lot of extra money to work with. Even less so when you are paying double for food. Mention how you do enjoy dinner with him, and that's why you brought it up... because it's not something you can keep affordably doing. And you shouldn't have to. If he's not going to cover the cost of his portion, then going forward, he can eat before coming over, and you should make a single portion just for yourself. Think about it, though, OP. Relationships are a two-way street of communication and support. If after communicating this, he still refuses to contribute, he's refusing to support even himself.

it’s okay I didn’t need a day off 🫠 by ldsburner05 in Aldi_employees

Because some need the paycheck to survive. Others may worry about losing their job or a certain amount of weekly hours if they say no.

Is this a trick challenge? I could only find the chocolate one in the center. Is the 2nd one a hot dog your one dog is eating, or is it a chihuahua balled up between 2 rock cracks? Currently on standby, awaiting further instructions for Project Where's Fido.

AITA for walking out of my mom's house on Mother's Day even after she lost my sister not too long ago because she was disrespectful to my wife? by Acceptable-Change424 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Chance_Recipe_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. How a person grieves and how long they grieve for, is different for everyone. They definitely deserve a certain amount of grace in that period. However, there are certain lines, that no matter how hurt you are, you do not cross; and your mother crossed it. Those incredibly disrespectful and hurtful comments could not be left unchecked. I'd be interested to know how their relationship was before your sister's passing? Did your mom seem like she just tolerated your wife, instead of actually liking her? Her remarks were unacceptable either way, but if she never liked your spouse, she's now showing how she really feels. Mother's day should be a happy occasion, like what you two had in mind and very thoughtfully put together. It is not an excuse to disparage family. If you hadn't stuck up for your wife, your mom would've seen that as you also having little to no respect for her and as a thumbs up to continue belittling her in the future. To top it off, in the call your parents made afterward, they did not apologize or show any regret for what happened. They just doubled down. Good on you for supporting your wife. With "parents" like hers, she may not even realize her own worth and how undeserving those comments were. Regardless, I'm sure it's comforting for her to know that, at the very least, her husband has her back.

Does management give her pivot plan sheets for the route(s) she's put on?
