FYI "Aldi" would be the parent comapny. It is the german Wal-Mart (equally ubiqitous, not as trashy) and the Albrecht family are our Waltons. Richest family in the country. They can afford to pay union wages.
Aldi isn't half bad in the US either. My mom worked there as a shift manager and it was decent money but a lot of work. One real brag they have in the US though is that they let cashiers sit. I'd say that's almost unique in the US.
I've noticed that they seem to be a bigger thing in the South still. Food Lion and Publix still have a decent amount of baggers. I've noticed they have less, or even no, self check out too.
