What's the name of that place out west that's apparently killing all local Walmarts... they're owned by their employees or something. Walmart has done an amazing job making sure they don't get press...

WinCo? They compete with costco on bulk grocery. Nowhere near consumer goods of costco or wamart

I worked in Aldi in Denmark while I went to nursing school.
The coworkers was great people and the work put some muscle on me.
But goddamn. The pay was the lowest they were legally allowed to pay me. Literally half of what I made as an ICU nurse later.
And the company, the guys who sat in some office in a different city, they did not give a shit about the employees.
One lady in one of the other stores (we exchanged people between stores to cover sickdays etc.) had tried to call in sick because of diarrhea one day and was told to come in a wear a diaper. Or be fired.
In another store the manager popped open, at own expense, a single bottle of Champagne and measured it out between all the employees, maybe half a glass each, after they had closed on Dec. 31st at like 4 PM. Wanted to show them he appreciated them working on that day I guess.
Every single one of them, manager included, was fired when the bigwigs found out. No alcohol allowed at work after all. And no leniency either I guess.

My contract said 37 hours a week but since were were usually 4-5 employees, total, in one of the busiest Aldis in the country (they ranked us by monthly gross and sent out memos with the rankings so we would compete with other stores) it was usually 50-60 hours a week instead.

I'm not even hating on Aldi. If people don't like it they can educate themselves and find something else. But I make a point of treating the employees nicely when I shop there because I know they are being worked like fucking dogs.

I really liked the frozen lasagna and the produce was usually excellent.

I think Aldi in the US may have actually improved. Its still a grocery store job so obviously you'll make more as a nurse, but Aldi is known as one of the better places to work in retail because they pay well above the other stores with similar jobs since they employ fewer employees with more responsibilities.

I don't know much about Aldi in the US but what little I've gleaned, mostly from /ck/, does support that, yes.
Germany is right next to Denmark so maybe they just kept the stores there on a shorter leash because they could.

none of that would fly under US laws

Strictly speaking, it wouldn't under Danish laws either but we needed the work.

Without consulting a lawyer I'd say Denmark probably has tighter regulation on this stuff than the US. The Unions are definitely more powerful here.

The "H" in the logo stands for "Heil"

Get used to packing your own groceries, because Aldi is expanding aggresivly in the US, they want to be pretty big on the US market in 5 years.

Also, South Park will propably make an Aldi episode at one point.

Opposite in America. I live in a town where rent for a whole three bedroom house is like 500 a month and aldi pays $12 an hour starting
