Aldi
OK, I'm probably going to get some hate mail from some of you ladies on this one but, I'm ready, I've got my Gorilla suit on. 😆
Aldi's Grocery Store has got to be the nuttiest idea anyone has ever come up with.
Maybe I just can't see the reasoning because I'm a guy, I don't know.
Here we go ...........
I open a grocery store. I offer you groceries for you and your family. I "want" you to come buy my products to help support me and my family.
BUT.......
If you want to buy my groceries you bring/furnish your own sacks. I'm not giving you sacks. If you want a sack, buy it from me.
AND........
If you want a grocery cart to use while you are buying my groceries you have to make a coin deposite first, to use my cart. If you want your money back you bring that cart back to the cart rack to get your coin back or I will keep your coin.
I've only gone to Aldi's a handful of times. They have the best buttered garlic French bread around. That's it. The only reason I go there. I usually end up picking up one or two things in the grand scheme of things on the way out. The checker says, "you want to buy a bag" ? I always laugh and say, "Nope, some things should be free", and I carry those items in my arm to my truck.
I think this is NUTS !!!!
I don't see how they stay in business.
If they do close down let me know so I can stock up on their buttered garlic French bread.
