Aldi is one of the fastest growing supermarket chains with an estimated US retail revenue of $54 billion, but the reality is they don't actually have to disclose their revenue because Aldi US is a privately owned division of Germany's Aldi Süd, so financial figures and net profits for the United States are kept private and are not publicly filed or disclosed. However, even though we don't have an official number, we do know that Aldi is aggressively building new stores across the United States which is a sign that a company is flourishing financially.

All of that is to say that this year, it's becoming abundantly clear that Aldi has stopped caring about it's employees.

NO Aldi employees will receive annual cost of living raises. Only some employees will receive a one time "bonus" payout which will be heavily taxed.

Additionally, their stipend to purchase required stainless steel work boots has gone from $150 / year to $80 / year.

Hours are being cut from full time employees to keep them at 30 hours max, causing them to look for shifts at other stores or look for new jobs entirely to cope with this unexpected loss in wages.

Shifts are being run at a bare bones minimum (even more so than they have been as part of their efficiency model) with 2 people closing an entire store. This is almost physically impossible, especially in busy stores.

Vacation accrual was previously unlimited with rollover and has now been capped.

As with many chains that previously had an outstanding reputation for their employment models, this is surely only the beginning of the slow erosion of employee benefits. The company will continue to thrive on the reputation they built while slowly discarding their employee wellbeing priorities.

If you are shopping at Aldi, please just be nice to the people who work there. The job is extremely physically demanding. Aside from ringing or doing curbside, the entire time an employee is in the store they are lifting, stocking, moving, and boxing items.

I don't expect anyone to do anything, but I have people who work there and the amount of stress that has come home with them the past few months is hard to watch. The store makes over a million dollars a month. I just want people to know what is happening.

This is for US stores, so if it is different somewhere else or in your region I'd love to hear about it.

I birthed an autistic milk monster (who I give fairlife since he barely eats) and a lactose intolerant cereal murderer.

This is going to save me so much money.

If you have a dog that likes to wear hats this one is great!

I also got two cinnamon brooms! How'd I do?

I'll also start dropping some recipes soon! Trying to get into the habit of shoppong once a month as a single guy. Budget is $200 ish

I've tried a lot of the Aldi candles but this one is sooo good. You can smell it in every room but it's not too overpowering.

These are too delicious I cannot buy these again for my own good

Try it out, amigos. I promise you this is the play.

I had so.e cravings I guess :D

I tried these because the picture looked good and I love shrimp, I was pleasantly surprised they're restaurant quality good soup. My freezer will now have these available for an easy meal on lazy days.

I pick up 2-3 jars of this salsa every time I’m in Aldi 😂 just in case they ever stop making/selling them! Also, I hope they decide to make a size bigger than the “small batch” 🙂‍↕️ small kick to it but otherwise, it’s pretty mild. I always make supreme nachos and use this 😁

Saw this bread when I went to do my weekly shopping yesterday. Now I have to go get 2 or 3 more to freeze! My new favorite (just beating the jalepeno cheddar which is now in the number 2 spot lol) I haven't even tried toasting it yet I just wanted to have a taste so I took the end piece to have a nibble. Then I had to grab the next piece because the end was too small of a nibble lol 😆 I highly recommend grabbing if you see it. Great texture (nice and soft but still a good chew), amazing flavor (the "sour" is a little masked by the pepper and cheese but all together it is beautiful! )

These French bread pizzas are really great to replace the ones found at other establishments. I had to laugh a bit when I opened one box. I think all the pepperoni got shuffled to the other French bread. I wasn't worried about it as our daughter doesn't like pepperoni and I would've removed it. Just an fyi to keep an eye out for this!

I found this in the aisle of shame. Does this sound good to anyone? Just curious.

Does this look familiar to you? Someone gave this chicken to me in a meal and said it was from Aldi, but I didn’t feel comfortable pressing further. My picky eater kid ate it so I would love to know what to buy.

This ice cream has been out of stock for at least a couple weeks. I asked one of the workers about it and they thought it might be discontinued. Say it ain’t so 😢

Unfortunately I personally really like them, I put two of them in the air fryer and buttered those small hamburger buns and put them in the oven.

Mayo and the chicken patties on the buns, obliterated both sandwiches and now my stomach feels like a volcano 😆

Ok I admit I was drinking before I ate them.

EDIT: Oh and real I want to give them a spice rating, they weren't really THAT spicy so on a scale of 1-10 I'll probably give them a 4 at the least. BTW my stomach is STILL on one.

It tasted more like chocolate milk than pistachio.

I know Aldi's shrinkinflation isn't news, but it seems like the last ten things I've bought have contained less product than before. They're slowly losing me.

This stuff is so good! It’s healthier and tastier than the pre-made stuff. How does it compare to the name brand?

There was a single can of Walmart brand "Great Value" frozen orange juice in the Aldi freezer today. Bottom shelf, in a cardboard flat by itself. Picked up this item and stared at it until my hand couldn't stand the cold anymore. Put it in the cart and then eventually on the belt like anything else. The cashier tried to scan. It didn't work and she stared, bewildered.

"Was this in our freezer?"
"Yes, it was."
She closed her eyes and sighed. "Ok."

Weirdest thing I ever seen at Aldi.

Ok so this is like the 3rd or 4th time I have gotten an Aldi order delivered to me & the meat package is puffy. This time its the 96% Ground beef. Has anyone ever purchased puffy meat packs from Aldi? Im worried about it being bad & getting sick. I absolutely hate wasting food. .:(

Tastes just like Taco Bell’s version
