ALDI customer policy

They don't even have baskets at Aldi as it saves having to pay someone to collect and move them, so I would be amazed if they had a toilet that was suitable for the public to use. I bet it is one cubicle at the back of the warehouse next to the storeroom that doubles as the staff lounge.

My Mum worked in a national chain store for a number of years, it is not only the health and safety aspect but also members of the public are not insured. If you went to the loo and fell over the store wouldn't be insured/covered and they can get into a lot of trouble.....you will find this with most stores with no public loos. (obviously there are exceptions)

Your thread needs 'rip off' in the title

I think this is incredibly sad-exact same thing happened to me in my local Aldi-i shop regularly suppose they may have recognised me...they let my little boy use the staff loo without a question. Surely a member of staff could have taken 5 minutes to escort you (if need be) a child does not have the sense to "go when they can rather than when they need to". My local barbers lost my custom through it...my son had had his hair cut there since he was tiny, he was desperate but they wouldn't let him use it-I left on the spot and never went back. What has happened to courtesy? Manners? Humanity? Treating each other with a bit of thought and care-look at the lady thrown off a bus the other day because her child wouldn't be quiet-he was 2! What a disgrace.

I agree it's a complete disagrace when parents refuse to control their child on public transport.

Maybe it was a blessing you didn't get to see what goes on in the toilet when wages will be so slow. Be it German Owned and all.

Humanity? Get real!

Thought and care would be to remind your child before leaving the house that if he needs to go to the toilet, he should go now. If a five year old child is not capable of following such an instruction, the OP should be going to their GP, not shopping.

Aldi staff start on over £9 per hour, though they do work very hard.
