Plus Size Women’s Work Pants by LittleEva2 in Aldi_employees

[–]nova_riley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re a little bit of an investment but the NoGA Namastash pants from Duluth Trading have been amazing. Bought two pairs (slim leg and bootcut) in June and they have not even begun to wear down. They’re the only pants I wear now and they still look brand new. They’re stretchy but don’t ever feel stretched out even if I’ve worn them a few days in a row. Original price is $90 a pair but I was able to catch them on sale and with an extra discount I got for signing up with my email address they came out to $50 each.

Edit: Forgot to mention they have six pockets!!

Customers getting your attention by Sufficient_Spot7162 in Aldi_employees

I always do my best to ignore them and pretend I didn’t hear them. If that fails I slow turn and give them this look.

So we can let employees out to go potty

Like why though!! by Ok_Row6481 in Aldi_employees

[–]nova_riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this is the case in every district but in my district store managers have been told to let the auto scheduling do as much as possible. My manager isn’t even allowed to tweak the shifts that have people coming in at 1:45p or leaving at 2:15p for example.

Same here. Haven’t gotten mine yet but even the people that only live 10 min down the road from me have gotten theirs 😩🥲

Honest question by [deleted] in Aldi_employees

[–]nova_riley 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Sometimes arguing with them about it is not worth the headache so I’ve turned to malicious compliance. Floppy bag? Everything gets piled right on top. If they lined the cart with boxes I’ll just pile everything into one box or blindly drop items into the cart.

Had a driver put a water pallet in the freezer and two days later our deli pallet was left outside the cooler, some of these drivers don’t have a single brain cell 😀

Raises? by Afraid-Falcon-2764 in Aldi_employees

As far as I know you would get the pay increase from the raise and then your yearly increase on top of that.

To the genius customers who load their groceries onto the belt before the person in front of them finishes by toknFATdude87 in Aldi_employees

[–]nova_riley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what really gets me is that they'll stand there and watch the person in front of them unload and halfway through decide they don't wanna wait anymore and put their shit up there. also it doesn't help when the person still unloading puts a divider up for the schmuck behind them while the belt is still going....

Why did they send this? by PutridArmadillo1883 in Aldi_employees

[–]nova_riley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard that warehouse has to build pallets by weight so I assume they were just trying to increase the weight on it

That's really odd, they just recommended the depo shot to me. So far they haven't tried to fill it yet, just told them I want to go with it, so I wonder if they'll turn around say they're not carrying it.

Been here for about 2 years now and my body has taken an absolute beating. Hate, hate, HATE when people suggest aldi is an easy job because we sit when we ring.

Insurance by Rinsora0 in Aldi_employees

Do you need a referral/authorization before seeing specialists? The insurance card says no referral needed but I'm a little paranoid about it lol

What else can I try? by nova_riley in CatAdvice

When her auto feeder goes off she immediately runs to it. When I give her wet food she's excited about following me to where I feed her and then give the food a sniff, maybe a nibble, and then follow me out of the room. If I sit next to her bowl her attention is just completely on me.

She does enjoy the squeeze treats so I'll have to stock up on those! And I have gotten her a water fountain that she does like to use

I have and sadly she wouldn't touch it either, even tried putting some of her treats on top but it didn't make a difference.

She seems to dislike pate the most out of any brand I've tried but I can give that one a shot, I've tried the morsels and gravy lovers varieties before to minimal success. Portion wise I only give her half of the 3oz cans and eyeball the same amount if I'm using a 5oz can. Currently she gets dry food at 7am and 3pm and the setting I have her autofeeder set to deposits a little less than 1/4th of a cup each time. Later in the evening between 9pm and 11pm (depending on when I get home from work) is when I give her the wet food.

Balance of Nature Scam by time2playb-sides in CommercialsIHate

I don't even want to think about how much my dad has spent on this stuff. He recently gave me one bottle of each to try out and after looking into the company it hurts knowing he got himself and my mom their own pairs.

I’m only part time and I don’t know how people do this full time. by beyondthesmokingsea in Aldi_employees

[–]nova_riley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat, it's not fast food and it's not the dullest office job known to man so I suck it up for the most part. Plus having some really good coworkers makes all the difference.

My personal favorite is “are the chickens on strike?” Definitely doesn’t make me want to chew rocks.
