ALDI - how?

[Ontheboundry]

6. My neighbor is an aldi manager

They reduce labor :
No cart retrievals
Shelf stocking is simplistic
Usually only one cashier open (mostly self check-out)
Smaller store footprint
No phone answering (nobody answers their phones ever )
No bagging (you do it yourself)

Also, no advertisements
No vendors means no middle man to mark it up
No department heads
The staff is also very small at any single time (3 is usual)

They pay their employees much better also than other stores with better than average benefits here in Tennessee I think the starting rate is 18

Also,.they don't have more than one choice of an item usually. Want kidney beans, you get the choice of dark or light or...none

Their banana suck bad tho. I refuse to buy them there lol.
