We've got these by us, they're a novel idea but it's only a step better than getting your food from the food pantry.

The only reason I'd shop here is stock up for another cold war nuclear scare or something comparable. Some of them have meat and produce, but by purchasing it you're, more or less, intentionally contracting salmonella or food poisoning.

uhhhh yeah man we've got these like every five miles in northeastern ohio.  they don't have the best selection and so if i want ACTUAL SHIT when i go grocery shopping i go to a proper grocery store, but like you said they're mad mad fucking cheap so if i am looking to SCRIMP or not in the mood to overpay for groceries, or i just don't really need anything fancier than FRUITY-Os, i try to go there!

in a way it's too bad the place is so cheap, though, as it means that with limited funds they don't really hire a lot of people to look after the place (i've never seen more than three people working in an aldi at any given point in time ever) and being a bargain grocery store, they obviously attract a lower economic class of people and the result is every time i go into one shit's just strewn all over the place.

There's a similar type of store nearby called "Price-Rite" where you also pay 25 cents for shopping cart and bags are 15c. We're poor so my parents always shop there cause everything is cheaper. They have fresh produce, though!

however i am deathly afraid of blacks and hispanics so i stay away

yeah and meat and poultry right?  i was just telling him i preferred save a lot to aldi because SAME CONCEPT but with fruits and vegetables and other shit aldi neglects to stock.  it's good that it's cheap as fuck but honestly i've spent so long shopping at whole foods and trader joe's because i don't really have a budget that i have a difficult time acclimating my tastes to a lot of the shit they sell there.  i think i really only like it for basic stuff like bread and cereal and milk and whatever else.  if i want whatever else people buy at grocery stores like frozen pizza or something, i always feel like i am getting a lesser product when i buy their 79c variant as opposed to whatever $6 option a nicer store would have, but it's really nice that it exists for people living on tight budget constraints!  i'm sure if i was POORSTUDENT and didn't feel like spending six fucking dollars on a frozen pizza i would appreciate a 79c one.

no one to help you bag or anything.

there exist such jobs?


and what's the scandinavian link? i've never heard of ALDI........

lars do you guys really not have bagboys

actually now that i think of it, during summer break there are some in speciality stores (like gourmet stores) that are mostly school age kids (13-15 years old I guess?)

Hey this topic is now about strange jobs in the USA.

Next up: What do you call people that fill your gas tanks?

Do you have people that clear your windows in traffic lights?


edit:

in all seriousness though doesnt bagboy and gasfillers as a job show how weak the economy is?

I remember when I was in Africa there would be people doing those jobs (I never went to a grocery store in africa tho so i never encountered the bagboy) and its generally a sign of labour being way too cheap and way too available (correct me if im wrong??).

usa is such a third world country in disguise....!!
