Its vastly overrated.

Aldi sucks, but enjoy your "Europeon" shopping experience in that German dump.

They fired the entire Winn Dixie staff (some who’d been there for many years) when they closed. I’ll never darken the doorstep.

Oh damn, that Winn Dixie closed?
That was my spot when I lived in that area.

Well yeah, every time I walk into an Aldi I see one employee max.

The place has been under construction for like 6-8 months. Not sure what
Those employees would do in that time frame.

Walmart is terrible. The Rouses on 42 is terrible. I used to like Winn Dixie well enough. Looking forward to some other option now.

Aldi is a cross between Trader Joe’s and Dollar General.

I don’t know, but Winn Dixie was better. I’ll never go in there.

Some were probably too high on Aldi’s pay scale.

Also most large format grocery stores have about 50-100 staff members, while an Aldi may have quarter of the staff and are run like a dollar general. Good luck on fresh cut meats, everything is centralized and shipped to the store precut like Walmart.

Are you supposed to work for years at a grocery store? There are plenty of downsides to unionization which the workers ignored.

Do you expect them to keep staff when they close?

Looks like it's getting close. Aldi sucks. Not much of a selection. If you want bags, well, that cost extra. GTFO with that.

Not impressed with Aldi either. Only been in one once and didn’t even buy anything.

The last one I went to felt like I was shopping in some old eastern bloc grocery store.

I’m sure there are some nice ones, but damn I’ll just go to rouses.
