Since it states above that this site is not associated with ALDI, hope this isn’t a waste of time….there was an address for the international office, but have no clue what country it is, so guess this is a start.
live (unfortunately) in Akron Ohio and have been going to ALDI since they first opened, years ago…have to say the quality of everything has gone up exponentially!!! am STILL an ALDI shopper.
there is a store on “Romig Road” in Akron Ohio. In the last 3 years, have had two unfortunate incidents…..one day I borrowed a friend’s car because my mind was in the shop, so stopped at that ALDI but could not figure out how to lock all the doors….after shopping, put a few items in the back seat and looked away about 5 seconds….to return the cart. In that short time, whoever was watching stole the groceries out of the back seat. never saw a thing. Of course no witnesses….
the next incident at that same store — a few months ago — a nut case followed me into the parking lot and got out of her car screaming that I hit her. She took a bunch of pictures of my license plate so I did the same thing. took pictures of her car, which was banged up all over….she came at me, yelling that I had no right to do that, and started punching me, knocking my glasses off, I finally grabbed her by the neck to get her away from me. Again, no witnesses, but I was in shock and went back into the store; no security cameras, no security at all….at least the girl at the register listened to me….When I got home, discovered my phone was broken in the altercation, so the pictures of the license plate were a lost cause. In hindsight, this woman was evil, and the police said, you are lucky she didn’t shoot you.
a few days ago, I went back there….a guy was standing outside and almost looked like a security guard; I asked him and he said, yes, he is there from 1 p.m. till closing. I grabbed him and hugged him, so thankful that FINALLY, the store realized what an unsafe area it is and ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING. hope that ALDI headquarters become more proactive in customer safety.
