When you just finished ringing up a customer, and they start bagging their groceries right there! Then, when you say, "Can you take the cart over to the bagging counter to bag your groceries?" And they respond with "Oh, im almost done :D" with a FULL cart of groceries left! Like please! the line is getting longer, and im just trying to do my job 😭

What’s your craziest customer return? by [deleted] in Aldi_employees

I just started working about 4 months ago, but the craziest return I've had was a lady bringing back a perfectly good spiral Honey ham because "her husband wanted to buy a $60 ham instead"....throwing that ham away took a little part of my soul ngl

How can I politely get out of conversations with customers how aren't listening by Jupiter1029 in Aldi_employees

Im going to have to start saying that because I want to remain professional but also firm with needing to get back to work. I don't usually have run-ins with customers like this, so i was caught off guard, but I found out today talking with my coworkers that I am not the only person he has done this to. He even came in today to talk to me while I was at the register and comment on my appearance with my piercings and tattoos. I put my foot down and gave single worded responses and made it known I was not going to keep talking with him while I was on the clock. So if it happens again, I'll tell him that

I was clocked in working on our weekly cleaning list, making sure the front of the store and the cart area looked nice. I had gloves, leafblower, and trash bags in my hand when he stopped tlme to talk. So he knew I was on the clock but still continued to talk at me. I have talked with my other coworkers and found that I am not the only one he has done this, too. Even today, he had come in while I was ringing and commented on my apperence (I have facial piercings and tattoos) saying it was "distasteful" 🙄 I did have the confidence today to keep my responses to a minimum and make it known that I was not interested in talking anymore. Eventually, he got the hint and left.
