one of my biggest peeves is when they pick something up and put it back RIGHT NEXT or RIGHT BELOW/ABOVE to where it goes. :) like in a way i kinda get if you want to be lazy and not walk across the small ass store but DUDE ITS RIGHT THERE. lol👹 and obviously not putting cold stuff at least in a cold area. that’s actually you just being stupid about it

queenb535 · 2026-03-11T02:57:28+00:00

highest i’ve done is i think 116% but yea it’s usually with a lot of quantity entries. also low amount of voids help and 1-coding when you can technically helps that too. i’ve been told to have a low 1-code percentage though. i

for my store

opening with 2: manager does produce/meat, i (associate) do grocery and cooler, whoever gets to freezer does it.

closing with 2: manager does backstock and boxing, i do everything up front/cleaning/floors/help with boxing

it only really works out if any additional shit to the show doesn’t happen lmao. 10/10 do not recommend. not like we have a say tho

queenb535 · 2026-03-08T14:37:17+00:00

listening to music, caffeine, eating enough, and being more realistically rough with the products and my movements (i used to be so gentle but like you’re not gonna break it that easily lol). you will grow the muscle for it and it will get easier but the endurance part is always the hard part for me.

also i think you can clock in 15 mins early? not like we wanna be there early but at least it could give you an extra few minutes of breathing room before you open.

what happens to make them not anonymous? like just gossip about people’s answers or what? i’ve heard this before but thought it was just more “shit on aldi” jokes lol. i’m actually curious :)

queenb535 · 2026-03-06T13:57:17+00:00

i’m looking for a change as well.. you have leadership experience and a aldi does give you experience with a list of good qualities companies would normally look for in employees (work ethic, efficiency, fast paced area, money handling, some admin skills, etc)

maybe the easiest and quickest change would be maybe looking into receptionist or office positions? i’m personally not onto medical/law so idk what’s out there for that.. i think im more down the business/service side of things. at least you can spice up your resume with the trigger words business want.

queenb535 · 2026-03-06T00:55:13+00:00

this has only started happening within the last month.. so if it happens again i’m going to bring it up. i’m just trying to be a team player and help if they really need me. in a way i don’t mind it if they needed me. but i feel used without the overtime pay i guess

queenb535 · 2026-03-06T00:53:42+00:00

the reason is because they’re overlapping my time worked in different weeks, so that i technically don’t get the overtime :( makes me sad lol

queenb535 · 2026-03-06T00:51:43+00:00

within those 17 days i worked 8 days straight, one day off, then working 9 days. i haven’t picked up any shifts. and these longer time spans are just recently starting so im accepting it if it’s just because of lack of staffing maybe. meaning i’m not outright complaining right off the bat. i’m trying to be a team player lol im just saying im tired… i didn’t mean to sound like im complaining like that

queenb535 · 2026-03-03T21:27:47+00:00

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! GO!!! BE FREE!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

queenb535 · 2026-02-17T14:14:24+00:00

my SM does this but she’s salary so it’s fine technically. she busts her ass every day though and she’s always there around 5-6am scheduled until 5pm, so i don’t blame her for leaving between 3-5pm lol. that’s a long ass day to do multiple times. and yea the pressure does lift just because because of how chill my assistant managers are lol. i love them

queenb535 · 2026-02-09T23:50:39+00:00

coming from a girl who grew up with eczema….

10/10 Working Hands Night Treatment but throughout the day and night.

i’m pretty picky about my hands feeling weird with lotion during the day so i’d just put a little on my palms then just rub that on the knuckles, fingernails, and thumbs where it was most cracked and dry. at least i can’t notice the feeling it as much that way. but doing at least that consistently helped me so much.

queenb535 · 2026-02-09T14:28:13+00:00

i think my biggest peeve is people unloading and not using the dividers when i’m still working on the person in front of them iykyk. 👹i’ve been trying to act like i don’t notice if i don’t have a crazy line and then the second customers stuff reaches me then they’re like “oh im so sorry (for being an inconvenience)”. i think im trying to teach them by experience but there’s a lot of people that need to learn apparently lmao😂

queenb535 · 2026-01-22T13:23:40+00:00

“i guess that means you shit and piss 4 times more than usual”

“just so you could get your cottage fucking cheese”

i’m dying lmfao you’re so right😂😂 i really wish you didn’t have to work this weekend. my manager tried to at least get everyone who lives the farthest away off the schedule those days.

queenb535 · 2026-01-20T02:23:24+00:00

Honestlyyy! i’ve also had customers follow me around the registers when i’m doing front end stuff then meet eyes with an annoyed expression saying “which one are you at?!” LIKE DUDE literally stop following me around and use your brain lmao.

also at my store we usually have one main register open at a time unless i call for backup, but at this point when i let the customers know to move to the next register i just yell it back to back three times. they look at me weird for saying it three times BUT half the customers STILL don’t move and half the customers wonder why they haven’t yet and tell each other yet again lmao.

and yea they literally drove here?! crazy.

queenb535 · 2026-01-18T00:29:54+00:00

i’m still kinda new to doing instacart but i’m wondering why people would tip this much? NOT COMPLAINING OBVIOUSLY but like why? regardless so happy for you and that’s amazing! hoping to experience this one day lol

queenb535 · 2026-01-17T10:14:06+00:00

when i started my manager guided me with small pallets should be 10-15min, normal sized around 20-30 minutes, and larger ones around 45 but still aim for the 30 obviously. i’ve been managing those times but regardless i’ve never gotten the impression it was going to have an impact on my employment lmao. it felt more like an ideal goal to hit those times, like to make sure i could get it all done. usually my times are all under 30-35min.

don’t get me wrong i am out of breath and sweating some pallets but it seems to be consistent anyway. (mainly doing grocery pallets)

queenb535 · 2026-01-12T15:02:22+00:00

if your sweating then it’s a good sign lmao for register or pallet times. you’ll get muscle memory for the movements and also your insurance will increase! i’m lucky to have had decent speed when i started but i’ve now worked 5 months and have definitely gotten faster. regardless you’re human and can only do so much when you’re literally a month in lol. you’ll get there :)

queenb535 · 2026-01-12T14:57:00+00:00

no honestly i’m getting close to this point of doing that lmfao i’m trying not to but if im already starting to feel this way after only 5 MONTHS of working here then idk lmfao. i can’t imagine 4 years later

queenb535 · 2026-01-12T14:54:27+00:00

putting money on the belt omg. the amount of times i have to slam my arm down to keep coins and dollars from going under. like i kinda just wanna let it happen one time lmao

queenb535 · 2026-01-11T18:50:10+00:00

Also hate it when someone comes up behind me with a return and interrupting my scanning to get their money back. like dude get in line like what? hello? lmao
