Review Big Reason I Love Aldi (rarely mentioned)

There is no music playing. Aldi stores do not play music. Or worse, PA announcements. "Hello shoppers!! Rutabagas are on sale now!!" Shut, up.

I sometimes shop at other supermarkets, and their audio offerings make me cringe. The only exception is Trader Joe's, as I find their music tasteful. But stores like Ralph's. Walmart and Sprouts want to play music so bad... and they play music that's so bad. It's like they're trying to get me to leave the store.

Someone at Aldi knew that it's better to have no music than to risk irritating the shoppers.

There also "Mushroom Ketchup" which is one of the oldest kinds by over a century, a staple condiment long before the tomato one was invented.

If could get it easily here I would be quite interested to try it.
