Good stuff. What I like about ALDI is their reputation. They don't have homeless people walking around their parking lots begging customers for change like you see at Walmart.

Dont let them become too big or you see yourself in another North vs South fight.

This is Just the Europian work experience in grocery store

Just a normal supermarket in germany 😅 is this really so insane

Who is "Oldi"? A cousin of yours? IT IS ALDI. This is standard in Europe. The video is about everything what's wrong with the US in roughly 9 minutes. Got it.

i used to shop at aldi

Wait wait, so if someone gets hired in a american grocery store, they are expected to always work the exact same task? Like always 8hours a day every day cash register? Thats insane, the monotony would kill me! I worked at a gas station, and imagining to work 6 hours only at the cash register, especially with the low phases where not a single customer would come sounds agonising

Seid ihr Aldi Nord oder Aldi Süd Gebiet?

At least something germany can do better than other countrys 😂

I constantly make the experience at ALDI that their vegetable counters are the best and the freshest - why? Turnover rate!

Another store Lidl (German as well) the same and even more diversity! We have them in the Netherlands for the long time.

Not only do the employees earn more, they are even allowed to sit while they checkout. You won't see that in any American grocery store.

I like their special offers. I also bought the first home computer there, and did not regret it. They offer 2 years guarantee. And will deliver on it. Their repair centre in our case could be reached by car, train and bus. I delivered the PC tower, explained what I thought the matter was (virusses). Next thing they contacted me 10 days later: please fetch the PC, its ready. It was like new.

The fact they have to explain why the shopping carts want quarters is so examplatory for American cultures

zumindest aldi süd und nicht aldi nord ey 🙏

Most of those are simply the standard for grocery stores in Germany. I understand though why US grocery stores have developed differently and are more ‚luxurious‘, especially because of the car culture over there… although of course stuff like that comes crashing down when the country does

In Germany everyone has theese plastic shopping cart coins that they use instead of actual coins.

TL;DR Aldi literally just does stuff thats standard practice in Europe Americans are shocked

Aldi came to Ireland in the early 2000’s and nobody used to shop there as a lot of people thought that you were a cheap shopper. Joke and everything would be plentiful. But the crash came in 2008 and it exploded along with Lidl another German grocery chain. Both now have a massive market share in Ireland and their products are as good as their competitors. And their middle isle is priceless.

The last time I was at Aldi's, the meat didn't look fresh, the stock was limited, the veggies were tired, and some German sausage I bought was so salty I threw most of it away.

It's funny for me as a german to see a video like things because it mentions a lot of stuff i really dont things about and is normal for me. Like the still boxed stuff, that you can take mostly everything out the box, even a single bottle. That you have to pack the stuff yourself, like wtf. Even the labour for a bag boy here would be crazy. The solo cashier is also crazy fast and she has two checkout lines with two credit card maschines so the starts with the next customer even before the last payed. They also want you to go cashless.

In Germany we say: Wer nicht bei Aldi kauft ist selber schuld. This means translated: If you don’t shop at Aldi, it’s your own fault. Why is that? because if you shop at Aldi you save money. It is easy like that. It has nothing to do with cuture or stuff.

2:45 Wait in the USA there are shoping cars with out a loking system?!? 😂

The video was very slow paced. You often repeted sentences like "This is why Aldi saves money" which if you heard it 10 times in one video gets really fast really annoying.

For me as a German it’s very weird how the other grocery stores work in the us.

North or South?

ALDI is not invincible. First store opened in Denmark 1977 and after 45 years with profit ALDI left.

and the private lable products are damn good too😌

Aldi btw not "Alldi"

One thing that annoyes me with Aldi is actually just that. Sometimes i want to only purchase 3 potatoes. Not 20. But i cant

It is a bit amusing to watch this from a German perspective. Many of the mentioned efficiency measures are just common practice at all supermarkets in Germany. The coin locked shopping cart 🛒 for example ist totally normal. With labor costs being very high in Germany 🇩🇪, it would simply be very costly to have staff people caring for the carts all the time. Also, we never had staff people that would pack our items into bags for us or carry them to our cars. Again, that is simply not affordable here in Germany. The same with the card boxes that go into shelf with the items, to save time for staff members. All of that leaves a little more to do for yourself as a customer, but saves a significant amount of money. In the end the customers decide if that want a lot of helping hands or if they want efficiency driven low prices. In times like these, Aldi apparently provides a good option for many.

In 1961 the Albrecht Brothers (owners of Aldi) split the company into Aldi Nord und Aldi Süd after disagreeing over selling cigarettes or not. In Germany we still have both, in the USA on the other hand Aldi Süd is operating as Aldi and Aldi Nord bought the already existing store Trader Joe’s. I know this because when I was in the states I bought “mandarin orange chicken” from Trader Joe’s and it was absolutely delicious. So I hoped to find it at Aldi Nord but was not successful.

Finde es lustig das genau ein Deutscher Supermarkt bei den Amerikanischen Kunden so gut ankommt Grüße aus Deutschland You can translate this Comment 😊

It's called hubris. If any of the Walmart execs lived for a year in Germany and learned the German culture before forcing Walmart into Germany, they would have saved themselves a lot of trouble.

Aldi mention 🔥🔥🔥

Eh. There’s an aldi practically across the street from me, but I never go there. Very poor variety and not of super high quality. Kroger suits me just fine.

You lost me with "smiling at customers made them uncomfortable, because in Germany you don't smile at strangers". Hahaha thats ridiculous!

Real ones buy their cheap german junk at lidl

Lol, bruh, you serious, sora is garbage

What do you want to regulate???

Ok. I come from Germany and have to say: what the f are you American Groceries stores doing?? That’s all common in Germany 😭😭

Last week I went shopping in the first Aldi store. It is located in Essen, Germany. 🙂🎉

Everything you mention is standard and norm in every market in Poland / Europe probably

what if this video was written and voiced by AI 😮

I have shopped at both Aldi and Walmart (many times) and the claim that Aldi is cheaper is simply not true. Their prices are often very similar and competitive but the notion that Aldi is lower is a fantasy. Moreover, Walmart has a much larger selection and variety.

Wow, are Americans literally annoyed or surprised about the shopping cart coin? My mind is blown.

This just taught me that american supermarkets are shit (surprise)

I was surprised when I heard that Aldi carts needing a coin is an odd thing in the US, because it's so ubiquitous in Europe we don't even question it

Wer zum teufel sagt einfach OLDIE??!! Das ist ALDI. MIT AAAAAA

With other words: It‘s just very German. Smart, efficient and without unnecessary extras.
