I keep hearing people say I should go to aldis but every one I've been to had limited inventory, wilted produce and rotten meat. The only people I know who consistently go there are the type of folks who only care about how cheap something is no matter how terrible the quality.

But at least they treat their employees like people.

Any Aldi Ive gone to in Australia is the same quality as any other supermarket. Albeit with rip-off names of most things, but 90% of the time they’re literally from the same factory as the original.

I worked at a food manufacturer that supplied to Aldi. Literally our same product, just an Aldi created label with their branding.
