I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy

I hope the cowboy also mentions burgers at some point.

(also, you don't have to put coins in your shopping carts in other supermarkets??)

No, we expect people to return the carts to their place out of the goodness of their hearts.

It works about as well as you expect.

There are cart returns throughout the parking lot, and I’d say about 80% of people return them there or back to the store. This still requires an employee to go and fetch the carts every so often (sometimes with a motorized cart pusher so that they can get the whole group), and that last 20% is also just scattered around the lot waiting for someone to fetch it and taking up parking spaces in the meantime.

(Side note: Lidl has also shown up in my town. They do the American-style cart returns, but (at least at first) I saw the part on the cart where they clearly decided not to do the quarter deposit.)

Aldi and Lidl also charge for bags. That was weird at first, but it’s becoming more common.

Well, let me tell the coin gimmick doesn't really help much. Actually I know people that have small gizmos to be able to get their coin back without having to take the cart back to the cart parking area.

So with a heavy heart I must say: USians, you win on this one.

(I'm sure in germany and in the less-fun parts of europe the coin thing works great and everyone put the carts neatly ordered in their proper place, though)

#this is also a parking lot problem btw #dare i say. a car problem #i've never seen a shopping cart not on its own place in my town #and i think it's because the stores that do have them either dont have parking lots #or the lots are trivialy small so returning it isn't like. a chore #even for those that dont have the coin thingy

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

manuciruja

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

smadsel

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

smadsel

that’s not the whole flag, now is it
