It's happened in my own store numerous times. Serial returners are sometimes flagged and told to ease up. The policy is currently suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic but is expected to return in the future. The customer surveys that appear on Aldi receipts might go ignored by many, but they serve a real purpose.

BY Jake Rossen. Aldi is known for its unique cost-cutting measures that allow the chain to have some of the lowest prices for groceries. Working at Aldi means walking. According to the US Fair Labor Standards Act, federal law doesn't actually require employers to provide rest breaks, and it's generally a state-by-state decision. It's probably wise to find out the laws regarding rest breaks in your state before taking the job, unless you don't mind working around the clock — at least according to these employees.
It's not just having to speak up when they want a break that some Aldi employees take issue with. One employee claimed on Quora that sexual harassment was silenced to prevent the store from having to fire its managers. Another former employee on Glassdoor said the company will let you go on a technicality if you complain of sexual harassment. It should be noted that Aldi's website says sexual harassment and other forms of harassment "as defined by law" are prohibited within the company.

While some employees may find that the job duties don't equate with their pay, other employees are happy with the money and feel that it's better than other jobs of similar work. One employee told Reddit that they were still happy with the job after 10 months and said they felt it was better than average pay and benefits.
They definitely take care of you and reward you for your dedication. Aldi generally seems to pay its employees several dollars more than the required minimum wage and employees appreciate that aspect about the company. Even if Aldi employees are working their fingers to the bone, at least they're doing it for more than minimum wage. Working at Aldi isn't just incredibly tiring because of the fast pace of the job or multiple job duties that store associates are assigned.
Another former employee who worked at Aldi for a year and a half posted on Quora that the company doesn't respect employees on their days off and "Would call you all hours of the day for something that could have waited.
And God forbid you don't answer the phone. Store associate Glenda McKeever said in an Aldi video that she likes the flexibility in her schedule that Aldi has offered. And as a big supermarket actively hiring in the UK, Aldi has become a port-of-call for job seekers. Read on to see what they say.
