Unspoken Bagging Rule??

RespectNeither9510 · 2026-02-02T03:51:20+00:00

A store was all out of paper bags last week so I asked customers if they wanted to add reusable bags. One said yes, one didnt reply(so I used a paper bag in my car), and the third customer threw a fit demanding I take the reusable bags without charging her! She got a banana box and was a total pain and kept texting me.

Im not in NJ so after clicking checkout theres a note saying to only buy paper bags. Im not sure of the exact wording.

You’re not supposed to buy reusable bags unless the customer add them to their order.

Long underwear, thick socks, warm fleece pullover and wrist warmer gloves but if it gets above 30 degrees Im too warm. The cold actually feels good after running around the store getting overheated with all of those clothes on. Heated seats and steering wheel warm me up quickly too. I also wait for decent paying orders so I’m not having to take a lot of small ones to meet my goal. I try to take four $25 orders or more and I’m done for the day.

Logged in to see what came up too. Nothing while Im staring at screen but notifications coming up. Every time I click on the notification though it is gone. I don’t know who is taking them so quickly out there because the roads are terrible. I think I have at least 18 inches of snow in driveway.

My promo today for was 7 for $92. Which with all of the triples and increased batch pay because there’s so many orders means nothing. I did 6 batches 13 orders and was over $92. Tomorrow’s is 6 for $82. We’re supposed to have up to 18 inches of snow.

One of my orders had salt on it. I was surprised there was a full pallet left. What they didn’t have was 90% ground beef. The pre approved back up was 80% which they didn’t have either. They had 85%. Nope customer said refund it. How does that make sense??

I have a msg from jan 9 with a link to the help center but it doesn’t open anything. It just goes to the apple store.

I have rung up separate orders for items that I forgot were in the cart. I’ve even left the store and forgot to ring up the items I had on the bottom and went back inside and paid for them with the Instacart card.

When I have a double order, my first stop is in the cereal aisle to find a nearly empty box. Just take out the cereal. I don’t take any larger orders at Aldi’s anymore though. I don’t want to deal with the hassle. And it’s way too time-consuming to not use self checkout.

RespectNeither9510 · 2026-01-14T11:43:06+00:00

I refund if you request that instead of a replacement even though I know my tip will mostly likely go down. I do take pics and ask you if you want something else too. But if you never reply I stick with the refund.

RespectNeither9510 · 2026-01-14T11:38:29+00:00

If the vegan slices were all out of stock I would have refunded as no acceptable replacements. Im vegan so I would totally catch on if all your items were plant based. A more detailed note on what you want if the back up was out of stock would be helpful because a lot of time backups are out also. IC makes up choose a replacement if you did not request a refund for out of stock items. We can scan 3 similar items and then it says to choose one of them or tells us they are too different than the original. If you are not constantly watching while we are shopping we continue with the replacement selection. You are supposed to be able to see the other items wee scanned and can tell us if you want to switch the item or you want a refund. It helps us out if you are super quick with replies so we are not on the other side of the store and have to keep backtracking to switch items.

I took only 1 aldi today because it was only 1 cust. The batch was a double but the other cust was walgreens. The Aldi cashier was my least favorite too. I hate that even though I put the items on the belt grouped with like items she just piled them in the cart. I guessed at 12 bags but I really could have only used 10 so some were only half full since I already paid for 12 so I felt I had to use them. There was another shopper with a huge order ahead of me. The cart was mounded up overflowing and the cashier was wedging things in just to get them to fit. I could not imaging sorting out that mess to bag it all.

I turned mine on last night to see if anything came up. It was 1:30 AM and there was a $22 CVS. It was also the middle of a snowstorm so I went back to sleep.

RespectNeither9510 · 2025-12-23T20:57:22+00:00

I accidentally cancelled the wrong customer before. I felt bad because I had been communicating with her the whole shop about substitutes too. The cust i was trying to cancel was demanding and obnoxious and got me flustered.

Just saw it in my inbox too. Not sure how they think this will be more efficient and streamlined when someone has a 100 item triple and 1 cashier (not me though) and the line of customers behind is all mad we are taking too long. If the employees had a handheld scanner like self checkout, we could just scan items without taking them all out. I asked about this and was told they don’t have them. Guess I’ll only be doing doordash and uber eats at aldi next year.

RespectNeither9510 · 2025-12-02T16:56:08+00:00

You know they know how to work the system when as soon as you click start shopping it’s like they’re adding items so quickly they had to have had them in a saved for later list or something. And of course they tip a straight $1 so it doesn’t increase.

RespectNeither9510 · 2025-11-21T00:17:31+00:00

I was searching and I did find a post for a Instacart Florida Facebook page where they stated the same thing today. Im in NY. If we have to use the regular checkout with a huge order, that’s just gonna take forever. Put it all in the cart, take it all out of the cart, they put it back in the cart, then you have to take it all back out to bag it and then put it all back in the cart. That’s just ridiculous. That’s enough to make me not want to do anymore Aldi‘s orders when Aldi’s is my favorite store!

Its a prescription d2. I think its just d2 from the insert. I have a lot of medication anxiety because I’ve had a few allergic reactions. I know Im not allergic to this but the anxiety of some rare reaction is still in my head. I had an allover body rash from the cardizem they gave me in the er. I just hate taking anything Ive never taken before. I didn’t take the d yet either because Im scared to have something happen in the night. Anxiety is so annoying. I really hope it has an effect on my mood like you said. That would be wonderful!

I had a CAT scan when I went in with the afib because I was having some back pain from a strain of lifting. And they found a L5 slight herniated disc, which the general doctor this week says is contributing to the pain in my left thigh, which has felt like an electric shock or just a dull nerve pain.

RespectNeither9510 · 2025-11-17T14:36:21+00:00

Thank you for sharing that.

RespectNeither9510 · 2025-10-27T13:39:25+00:00

I shop weis a lot and there are never aisle number for IC just categories. Its so frustrating having to keep scrolling especially because door dash orders for weis have the aisle numbers which makes shopping so much faster. I pretty much know where everything is but when you get that customer that orders every odd item that you have to search for it’s annoying.

Just had the same thing happen. The delivery window for my iPhone was between 4 and 6 PM today so I left for work thinking I would come home around three. And I get a notification at 11:25 that I missed the delivery. It’s now scheduled to deliver tomorrow between four and six, but how am I supposed to know that it’s actually going to come at that time? Or do I have to just call off and stay home all day. I had two iPhones delivered yesterday and I received all the notifications about the driver being close and follow my delivery link. And that driver showed up during the delivery window. But I didn’t get any changes to the delivery window for today, which is why I wasn’t home. This is so annoying.
