Wer vom #Einzelhandel hat sich nur die Anordnung und den Typ solcher Abstellmöglichkeiten für Fahrräder überlegt?
Bei #dm kaufen bestimmt wenige Radelnde ein. Die Läden sind in Kombi mit #Lidl#Aldi etc. auf den #MIV getrimmt.
Deshalb sind diese "Dinger" und die Verortung im Grün nur als Alibi zu sehen. Schade ums Geld!
These "Buy Five And Save" sale incentives only serve a few shoppers.
The local, big chain, grocery store runs these ads and throughout the whole store.
Hey Meijer, you're not a Costco or Sam's Club. My wife and I don't need 5 farking bags of chips just to save $1.50 per unit. Oh, cereal is on sale? Buy 5 boxes to save!
What do single people or folks on limited incomes do?
They do what I do: Keep walking and wonder who the f**k thought up this business model.
Aldi investiert Milliardensumme für Expansion in Großbritannien
Hunderte neue Filialen, viele neue Jobs und eine Milliarden-Investition: Der Lebensmittel-Discounter Aldi bleibt in Großbritannien vier Jahre nach dem Brexit auf Expansionskurs - genau wie Konkurrent Lidl.
Die "Mogelpackung des Jahres 2023" steht fest: Besonders dreist hat der Lebensmittelkonzern Mondelez mit seinen "TUC Bake Rolls" die Verbraucher getäuscht. Aber auch ALDI und Katjes schummeln.
Nach der ersten Fahrt mit einem Elektro-Mietwagen habe ich inzwischen gelernt, dass die Mineralölkonzerne auch bei E-Mobilität abzocken. #Europcar hatte suggeriert man müsse #Shell Recharge verwenden. Ich habe mir wie empfohlen einen Account angelegt und eine Karte für nicht-Shell-Stationen bekommen.
Geladen haben wir damit letztlich bei #Aldi. Berechnet wurden 66 Cent pro Kilowattstunde. Heute habe ich aus Neugier bei Aldi geschaut und gesehen, dass wir dadurch fast das Doppelte bezahlt haben!
@AAKL@BBC If customers hate self checkouts then the store isn't doing them right. As a customer I love self checkouts because then I know that an underpaid clerk is not scanning my itmes twice, and I have time to look at the prices being charged to see if the price at the scanner matches the price in the ad or on the shelf tag. In fact that is the biggest failure I have seen, where the scanner isn't pricing the item correctly, but that would also happen at a human-run register because the prices all come from the same database. And where I live, if there is a scanning error and you are overcharged and you have already completed the transaction and paid, then the store has to pay you a bonus of ten times the difference in the price (between what you were charged and what the price should have been) plus $5. So it it potentially saves the store a LOT of money if customers can see what they are being charged before they complete the transaction, and can get assistance to correct the error.
And sure, in theory you can call an error to the attention of a human cashier, and that's a possibility if you only have a couple of items, but if you have a shopping cart (or trolley as they say in the U.K.) full, an experienced cashier often scans the items so fast you just can't follow along (plus you are often still trying to unload the cart when the clerk begins scanning your order). So all you can do is check your receipt for errors, but now you have to make a trip to the service desk and wait in line there to get an adjustment, and meanwhile all your frozen and refrigerated items are getting warm.
But if I am doing the scanning, I can see the price for each item and if I want to scan my items in a particular order I can do that too. If I don't want my bread or eggs or bananas smashed I can make sure that doesn't happen. If I have to weigh something, I can make sure that a part of the previous customer's order isn't sitting on the scale (that actually happened to me in a human-run checkout line once, and the clerk was totally unapologetic).
And I don't have to try and make small talk, which I hate. Some people may want that, but I don't. I just want to pay for my purchases and get out.
Most of the time the self-scanners at the stores I shop at work great and I really wish all the stores had them. The one store that pisses me off is #Aldi (#aldius); they recently installed a bunch of self-scanners but their scanners neither take cash nor the store's gift cards. So if you want to pay cash for your purchases, you need to use a human-run register and usually there are only one or two of those open, and their cashiers scan items REALLY fast, which is great for people in a hurry but not for people who want to see how each item is being rung up. A store that does self-checkouts right is #Meijer; theirs accept cash and give change and hardly ever make mistakes, and they have so many that even if one or two are out of service it usually doesn't cause a backup - I can't even think of a time I had to wait more than a minute or two since those were installed, except for one day in the middle of the holiday rush where I think I had to wait three or four minutes.
We have a chain of stores in Miami called Fresco y Mas that I rather like. But when in one yesterday I realized some Winn-Dixie stuff indicated Fresco y Mas was owned by Winn Dixie.
During the George Floyd protests Winn Dixie said it would do what the Dixie Chicks did and drop the name Dixie, because, well, the word Dixie is a reference to being where enslaving people was legal. So dixie can fuck a loser's trophy.
#Aldi at least was buying Winn-Dixie, keeping the branding and Fresco y Mas is being spun off as it's own thing.
Very interesting to me that a German company formed in 1946, built literally on the ashes of Nazi Germany, would have no interest in just dropping the word Dixie.
You get "Winn" and who doesn't like to Win? And, bonus, I might walk into a store!
Fuck the Confederacy. May it roast in hell and may we finally end it forever.
This was the smallest loaf of bread I have ever held in my hand. This is an Aldi product, the prices haven’t gone up that much, but this is the first time I’ve seen the bread shrink.
I didn’t do a great job of photographing it, but this whole entire loaf of bread is not much larger than my hand. I am a woman who is only 5’2” tall, I’ve been told I have large hands for my size, but they aren’t that big. My ring size is a 5.
And a loaf of bread should be bigger than my hand.
