About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while checking out at Aldi, a regular noticed something odd in his shopping cart—a small, wrapped package nestled among cans of beans and boxes of cereal. Curious, he opened it to find…nothing but air inside. Confused, he showed it to an employee who shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s our secret “floating” promotion—just put back whatever you like!’ The man laughed, shook his head, and decided never to tell anyone.
2. One day at Aldi, an elderly gentleman was scanning his groceries when suddenly the intercom crackled to life. ‘Attention shoppers,’ it announced, ‘we have just received our last can of beans for today’s special price.’ The old man looked around, surprised, then smiled and whispered to himself, 'Well, I guess I'll just have to come back tomorrow!' As he left, a young delivery driver overheard him and laughed, shaking his head. 'That's what they always say,' he muttered, knowing full well that Aldi's secret stockpile of beans would reappear before dawn.
3. At Aldi one afternoon, a cashier announced with a straight face: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our self-checkout scanner has detected that you’re not from around here.’ A puzzled customer asked, ‘How does it know?’ The cashier replied, ‘It’s simple, ma’am—you’ve got an out-of-town license plate.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked up and said, ‘That’s because I’m from Germany!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the confused lady who turned out to be a neighbor.
4. While loading his shopping bags into the car, a neighbor noticed something peculiar on the receipt: 'Special thanks for shopping at Aldi!' The neighbor chuckled and thought, ‘I guess they appreciate my business after all!’ On closer inspection, though, he saw that it was just a generic message printed on every receipt—except now he felt like part of the family.
