    One of the worst is when you’re behind them when doing grocery shopping.

    I got stuck at Aldi behind someone and by the time they had paid and sorted their stuff out, aisle next to me had been through an entire rotation or 2 of people at the cashier while were stuck with one elderly person.

      Yeah Aldi is not the place to take your time at the register.

      At the same time, Aldi is 100% the place that you will encounter unnecessary delays.

      A while back at Woolies, going through the self checkout, the cashier was asking (mostly the older customers) if they’re paying cash or card, so they can be directed to the correct checkout. One older bloke waved her off and went to a card only one…but he was paying cash. The of course made it her problem (she was super patient and accommodating) and tried raising a bit of a stink.

      I ended up backing her up and telling him (loudly so everyone heard) that she’s only trying to help and he should probably listen so he won’t be holding up the rest of the shoppers.

      He was very sheepish after that, but would not look at me at all 😁
