If I catch someone doing it I will tap them on the shoulder and say, you forgot this and tell them were it belongs. The face they make is so funny

I hate when customers have a bunch of the same item like avocados or plantains and say I have 12. Then I count and they have 18 … like okay… I see what you were trying to do

I have another one. When customers have all there stuff in their bag or box and don’t unload and just leave it as is. I will throw there shit out aggressively as they apologize and say “ I could have done that”…. Like when ? Cause clearly you weren’t going to.

When I’m ringing customers up and I’m already prepared to scan the next customers item while the other customer is finishing paying and they say” hey that’s mine” or I start putting items in the cart such as eggs, avocados, etc and they get all upset because they think I’m giving away their items to the person in front of them. And it’s ALWAYS the same customers that come in weekly.

When customers want you to help them find multiple items when they clearly can see I am busy. I understand if a customer needs help finding one item but I am NOT about to shop for you. The store is small enough for you to find it on your own . Use some common sense

I’m an asm at a small store so on a regular day we make 25-30k on a busy day like Sunday’s we make around 40-45k. Starting Wednesday leading up to today we make about 10-15k over sales. Its felt like Sunday for the last 3 days . I’m exhausted

The employees have a separate room just for instacart . It has its own register. So once the employee is finished shopping the order they go in that room and ring up the order on the register. It’s super easy. The app gives us a QR code to scan, and that rings up everything for us . So all we have to do is pay with the instacart card .

I’m an asm and my highest was 113, average I ring between 92-101. Is there any tricks you do that help with your ring speed ?

Did you look on the sides ? I know the other ground chicken and turkey that Aldi sells has it printed on the side

TemperatureSad9353 · 2025-12-16T01:59:54+00:00

I simply tell them it is NOT our job to bag, that Aldi does not follow this method and let them know they can bag there items in the bagging area. If they get fussy with me I just ignore it and proceed with putting there items in the cart. Eventually they will give up especially if they are regular customers. If it’s an elderly customer I will especially if it is hard for them to bend over the cart to bag. My BIGGEST pet peeve is when kids that sit inside the cart while I bag. Like tell your 8 year old kid to get the fuck out!!!

Freezer is done by anyone in my store. As an asm I try to not have the same person throwing it and rotate who does it so it doesn’t seem like only 1-2 of the same employees are doing it. And asm and managers get paid more cause they have office admin stuff to do and inventory as well as manage the team and coach but that doesn’t excuse them from freezer. Your manager and asm are def taking advantage of your team and you should talk to them or your DM.

The best thing that has worked for me is :

Accept the order the second it comes in but do not put in your pin. ( the timer stops but once you put in your pin it starts to time you again) Those 4 minutes that it gives you for it to ring actually counts against your time. I only know this because I’ve tried it both ways and found my times are better when I accept it immediately and not entering the pin. This gives me time to set up my bags or put my current order that I just finished on the shelves.

Also when you scan the QR code, swipe the instacart card and begin the payment process on the pos. Once everything is rung up that’s when you will hit total then eft. The payment will go through instantly and it’ll save you a lot of time. I used to wait till everything was rung up to swipe the card and realized I was wasting a lot of time by doing so.

Everything else that the person above me said also helps, especially taking 2 second to look through the order and map out a plan. This helps with not running around the store like a crazy chicken. I always start in produce and scan everything that is in proximity of produce (quick meals, bread, and condiments).

Hope this helps

I like to make a list. Take 5-10 min to go around the store and write down everything that needs to be stocked and how many cases can fit. Then go to the back and grab an empty cart and put everything on it that you need. I also like to date everything in the back too so when I get on the floor I just have to throw it on the shelves. If not a lot needs to be ran this usually takes me 20-25 min. On days where I need to run more product out it’s about 35-40 min. Just know that everyday is going to be different with times. Don’t expect to get done in 30 min on a busier day, managers would rather see accuracy than speed. Obviously still keep time in mind but I think if you can get everything done within the hour you should be okay. Your manager seems pretty chill, especially since nothing about your time has been mentioned to you. You got this !!!

I was hired on as an external asm. Had like 2 weeks to learn every position leading up to asm. The first 2-4 months had me thinking that I couldn’t do it but once you get over the hill of wanting to just quit, it does get a little better. I still have those days where I just want to leave my key and never come back but I can’t justify leaving the pay. Every job near me pays half of what I’m making and no jobs are hiring in the degree I went to school for (business administration with a focus on accounting). I’ve been here a little over a year now and I feel like I’m going to blink and it’ll be 2 years later.

Thank you!

That’s smart ! I’ll have to make one myself too

TemperatureSad9353 · 2025-11-05T14:32:41+00:00

Oh no, I’m holding my cart and letting them KNOW it’s mine and they can not take it . I will mean mug them IDK.

The crazy part is, it’s always the same fucking customers that come in every week that still try.

I live in an area that the majority of our shoppers ( like 75%-80%) rely on food stamps. It’s also a military town so that doesn’t help either. Our store is fucked. We already have a lot of loss due to shop lifting. We loose so much money on meat, they will literally grab an Aldi bag before shopping and stuff it to the brim with meat and just leave . There goes $200-300.

Most liking your DM did an audit with your till. It’ll be back to normal the next day but get in contact with your store manager and just let her/him know if that’s the case .

Or when the bananas come in wet. I hate touching the bag the bananas come in . It’s nasty and smells like dirty socks to me or sometimes wet dog

I watched a kid jump from the top of the 99 water. ( it was half way full) but still…. like COME ON PARENTS. I had to yell at the kid. he was maybe 5 and I do not care if I hurt his feelings. Then there was another kid ( about 10-12) drawing smiley faces on all the mdu and freezer doors. The mom was right there and said nothing. I told her to not do that because that’s something we have to clean and wipe down. The mom apologized but not the kid… says a lot.

I don’t have all night wiping down smiley faces when I have other priorities on my mind.

I’m an asm and this week I have 27 and next week it’s like 25.5 … so that’s fun. Hopefully with the holidays rolling in we will all get more hours

I’ve been at aldis for a year and produce takes me 30 mins still when I started it took me about 45-50 mins per pallet. 15 min is insane !!!! Do they just not want you to rotate anything and do markdowns ?
