35 pages and 690 posts and still the OP can't understand Aldi has decided how they are running their own business and that includes NOT accepting CC in England

You are right i am Mystified why such a Global International supermarket has an geographical bias on accepting Credit cards which the staff at Aldi themselves cant understand or explain.

I disagree Aldi is an international Global supermarket chain.

They want to improve their performance and become the top of 6 big supermarkets.

In the UK they are classed as a NO FRILLS DISCOUNT Supermarket.

you may go into an Aldi in Leeds and find they stock Heinz Baked beans, but go along to their York branch and find they dont stock Heinz Baked Beans. This is just the same as Aldi saying we wont accept CC in England. They have decided this is how they will run their SUCCESSFUL business

You ask a very good question assuming there are 5 big supermarkets above Aldi and Lidl, I incorrectly assume that the Owners of Aldi wanted to join the big five to make the big six and then aspire to be the top of the Big six.

Come to think of it I don't think Aldi have any aspirations
