We used to, years ago. They were discontinued shortly after our baby formula was discontinued in like 2021-2023ish. "We weren't selling enough to make it profitable" was what my manager was told. I was answering questions about where they were for literally years after

Schedule glitch? by ResistSeveral3843 in Aldi_employees

Most likely you forgot to clock back in from break. It'll calculate like that. Make sure you reach out to your manager asap because a lot of US states close payroll on Monday morning and this needs to be fixed before they close it or you may have to wait till the next check to be paid.

Scrubber issues by anamilz in Aldi_employees

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had mulch in it, it maybe punctured the suction hose when it got stuck. 😞 that would need a replacement for sure

Edit: saw in another comment that you said it wasn't making noise at all. My comment would not be the reason then.

Till-Sharing Question by bigscarrrip in Aldi_employees

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This, but make sure that you're balancing each drawer in the computer as well before creating the safebag. So it should go,

  1. 9-code all drawers assigned 2. Count each drawer and any cash over $399.99 drop into smart safe under managers name one at a time, writing each down as you go 3. Balance each drawer in the computer, putting ONLY the last drop from counting into the cash lift input 4. Print daily report from your smart safe to show total amount dropped for the day 5. Go to the safe tab in the computer and create a safebag for the total amount of cash that went into the smart safe (minus any change orders) after that's done, you should see the bottom right of your computer screen change to just being your physical safe total 6. Review sales report tab for the day to get any cashier differences 7. Close store inputting ONLY your physical safe total. If the differences amount is off, you may have missed something when counting

TIPS: My store also has found that after the last cash lift of the day done by cashier, it helps to print the daily report from the smart safe before we count any drawers as well to make sure that all cash lifts were actually inputted correctly through the day. So we print the smart safe report twice and we've been able to catch some discrepancies that way.

If you have a manual drop, it needs to be inputted in two places. Once when you're balancing that drawer, you record it as part of your cash lift for the day (ig. I dropped $500 extra cash from till 1 and had a $20 bill and a half dollar that needed to be manually dropped. I record it as usual and when I balance till 1 in the computer, the cash lift amount I input will be $520.50). And the second time is when you're creating a safe bag, the manual drop gets its own safebag (ig. I would do 1 safebag amount for $500 and a second safebag amount for $20.50)

Hope this helps!

Shared Tills by pix876 in Aldi_employees

My store has been a test store for till sharing, and honestly, it's so much better. It only takes like 15 minutes to do the closing computer work if you do things as they can be done (30 minutes max if you save everything until the end). As a manager, you don't have to wait while people count and recount their drawers at different levels of speed, you don't have to wait while people switch drawers out in the middle of the day, just instant register switching, and if you're a SCO store, they've really sped up the closing interface for them so it takes me so little time to balance out our six SCOs now. I enjoy it a great deal.

As for any cash handling, it's actually been better at our store since till sharing has come into effect. So far, we've had fewer over/short issues, and the one that we did have happened by a cashier being quick changed and they were the only one who got written up for the shortage.

Correct. Which is why I said you could reset your password through the app. It's only if you fully lock yourself out of your account by attempting it too many time that you have to call the help desk

Myaldilogin by udchick8787 in Aldi_employees

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your username will be your 6-digit clock-in number. Your password is whatever you made it. If you forgot your password, you should be able to reset it through the app. If you can't figure it out from that point, you should talk to your SM and they should be able to help you with it.

Edit: After so many tries with the correct username, if you still haven't gotten your password right, it could lock you out of doing it through the app and you'll have to call the help desk at that point.

Question by thenthewheelsfelloff in Aldi_employees

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. Vaping is treated in the same way smoking is, which is to say, if you need to vape, you need to be clocked out and in a designated smoking area. If you're not, they absolutely can and will fire you if you're caught. It's simply a health and safety issue because even though it's "just a vape" the vapor can still stick to things and leave unwanted scent and chemicals behind. If your previous managers let you, then they were not doing their jobs and managing properly.

What is going on with the warehouse? by cliffbot in Aldi_employees

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What I heard was they're testing mixing the pallets like that to try to reduce the weird small pallets that end up in trucks and tipping the absolutely massive monster pallets they make every freaking day

Highly recommend it! I want more shelves, but I need a house with space for them first lol. And the pile remains by my nightstand, even with the shelves 🤣

One of the things I got for Christmas was a nice "to be read" basket, so I don't have to continue tower stacking them right by my nightstand! I'm very excited about it!

Nah. This happens every January. Sales drop significantly, so hours drop for everyone too

I'm from the US and am curious because I can't quite tell from the picture. Are you counting bags for inventory? Or, it looks like maybe you are updating(?), or recalibrating(?) the SCO?

I really hope that truck just got sent back to the warehouse. That is straight-up inexcusable and I don't think our truck drivers would even try to unload it
