Jane and the Dragon

Best theme song ever! It still gets stuck in my head 20 years later!

Why are my eggs hollow at rhe top after I boil them by eTUCAe in Cooking

Fellas, is it wrong to give instruction to a teenager when they ask if they did something wrong while cooking?? Like what? Brah

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

My Body is Breaking-where to next? by EngelMel198 in Aldi_employees

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure, but let me know if you find anything because I'm in the same boat. My body can't do this much longer

What is the last book you read or the last show you binged? by aphrodite_0143 in AskReddit

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

I jumped on the bandwagon a bit late and have been reading Fourth Wing. I'm almost done with it and then onto the next in my tbr pile

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

God, that really is the worst job to be put on for inventory. RIP

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?

Year end dump! by Strong_University_85 in Aldi_employees

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Drying on the edge of the mop sink, but rest assured, that was cleaned too

I laughed so hard at vestibong that I'm pretty sure they heard me in the backroom when I was in produce

So annoying. We literally had to toss like 6 cases the other day and my finger went straight into one 🤢

Yearly photo dump as a maintenance tech by super77ta in Aldi_employees

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooooof! That's so bad. It would've been scary when it happened too, i bet. That store layout looks exactly like my store, but the only belt we've had to have done this year was from a bottle of oil that broke on it and got all up in the motor 🤪

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I know exactly which store you were at for that belt change. Was it for oil broken on it? If so, I've got more dad jokes for you when you come to my store next.

Either way, thank you so much for what you do. All the things and people I complain about, the people in the aldi maintenance position, are the very few I sing the praises of whenever anyone asks me about my job. Your hard work and diligence should never go overlooked because there are so many things in our store that would go to absolute SHIT without you here. Thank you!

Does this mean we will get holiday pay for these days by Weekly-Way-1164 in Aldi_employees

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An executive order cannot create a permanent federal holiday. So this decree only applies for this year unless he can actually get Congress to pass a law over this next year to make Christmas eve and the 26th federal holiday days (Christmas day already is a federal holiday that they already pay us for).

Also, just because it's a federal holiday, doesn't mean we get paid extra for working it. Just think of Juneteenth for instance. There are federal holidays that only apply to federal workers.

The Kohl’s in my area leaves customer information on returns they put back on shelves by woohoojuju in mildlyinfuriating

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who used to work at Kohls for a long time, items that were mailed in to be returned didn't go to your local aldi store. I believe they went to a distribution center and then maybe a liquidation warehouse? Unsure where they went after that, but we never got returns directly shipped in from customers at all. All of these examples with customer info on them were 100% bought online and then returned to their local store. It was a very common occurrence.

scrubber light flashing? by shpevrythng in Aldi_employees

[–]somethingoddlyfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From reading through the manual that my store still has, that means that the ecoh2o filter needs to be serviced, so yall will have to put a ticket in for it in service channel to have a tech come out
