Fight at Aldi

[stevewool]

Up and down the shopping isle minding your own business then suddenly all hell breaks loose "A FIGHT."
What started it i have no idea, but there was screaming and shouting by women and men standing up to each other and where was the shop assistants , nowhere to be seen.
I just carried on and i think so did all the other shoppers , you could still hear the screaming women going on, once we got to the tills i did look back and the man and the women where all still close to each other but this time there was a few managers standing near by.
You may ask where the security guard was who seems to be standing near the door every time we go in, well he was standing by the door still.

A security guard in Aldi..?

A security guard in Aldi..?

You have never seen them, they are usually around the tills collecting the baskets and general clean up, but they are wearing a coat of jumper with security on it and even a cap.
Hand about here my seeing and spelling could be the same, it could be secretary :biggrin:

Or ours:cwm25:

[stevewool]

Well I have been to all 3 Aldi shops around Derby and they all employ security people, maybe it could be just a coat the workers put on , he goes around collecting the baskets and general keeping it clean,
It's a job and if it's a Aldi worker it's great pay too

[stevewool]

If you go onto Aldi jobs, it's there security officer £10 per hour

[stevewool]

I must live in such a bad area, having three Aldi shops plus a extra three people working for a living thats unheard off

[stevewool]

Or ours:cwm25:

When you go shopping it's yellow labels day so it's full of OAP , so no violence, just people driving over other people's feet with there scotters:biggrin:

[Longweekend]

We have no such people at our local Waitrose....:icon_lol:

And here is me thinking I was dreaming what I saw

[Janedan0913]

There was a horrible security guard in our local Aldi wherein he came to my daughter and asked her if she is going to buy the ball. He said if she is not buying it then she needs to return it to the shelf. Then my daughter came to me and told me what happened. I was fuming as my daughter is just looking at the balls for her little brothers. Well now everytime we go to Aldi and Lidl, they make sure they are near us as they are scared of the security.

Next time you go in get the ball yourself and bounce it around the store then just before going to the till, put it back.:biggrin:

Unfortunately you get those 'Jobsworths' everywhere...

Thanks for this useful advice as this will be very handy when I get there again this week. The thing is if they will be annoyed they can just throw you out and ban you from shopping from that Aldi branch. They won't even listen to your reason and all they know is they are right and that's the end of the conversation.

I doubt if that will ever happen, unless you have done something really bad, like threatening a employee, shoplifting . remember if you feel you are in the right well stand your corner and say so.

Nope, i didn't do anything bad against the staff. I just witness a customer who was kick out of the store. I felt sorry for the couple. I just don't know how to react if that will happen to me.

They must have done something bad to be told to leave the store, I love to people watch while i am waiting for Emma to look at every single thing and smell every single piece of fruit or veg, so i have loads of spare time,.
Again dont worry , or go shopping with your partner and just enjoy sending his money and not yours :xxgrinning--00xx3:
