    I like that they let they're employees sit. No where does that for no good reason.

    Not my cup of tee when it comes to price and selection though

    aldi is the only place they are allowed to sit. cashiers in the USA never sit. it is seen as lazy.

    Yup, there is/was a thing where stores wouldn't let cashiers sit down because, according to customer service logic (and the opinions of a few extremely opinionated customers), it looks "lazy".

    The main difference between Aldi and current US commercial models is that Aldi does not undertake price scalping. Walmart et al appear to work out price scalping to generate the greates shareholders value at the expense of losing the poorest customers to other stores. In Europe, Aldi and Lidl have cleaned up and stayed true to principles.

    I feel like Aldi would do great in Utah but there are none here.

    No Trader Joe's? Same company.

    I love how fast the checkout is. The thing I detest most about my local Dillons (Kroger) is how long the lines get because they rely on self checkout and refuse to employ enough staff to open more checkout lanes. Aldi is lightning fast by comparison.
