New Aldi in Chesterfield - you'd think no one had shopped or parked before

AnnieO1234

Called into the new Aldi that's been open for about a week. Between ignorant staff (at 3pm) running around with pallet trucks without concern for customers and dumping pallets wherever they could, and even more ignorant customers who just didn't seem to understand the idea of MOVING through the store, it was a real nightmare.

The checkout was fine to be fair, although the car park was again rather ridiculous with vehicles parked no only on paths, but across roadways.

Madness!:mad:

New staff, new managers. It will improve as staff have more experience.

By the way discount stores like Aldi, Lidl will have less customer service focus. That's reflected on the price. They can't afford to get staff in after horus to do stock up. So they'll do it during trading hours.

Most people who shop at these places understand the trade off. They'd rather save a tenner off their bill and live with the inconvenience of the chaos than pay a premium for it.

Don't think it's a parking ticket issue. Just crazy uncoordinate parking.

Typical of a new store opening. Did you check an IKEA store opening?

was a video floating around, but cant find it on google.

The reason why the car park is full and has badly parked cars. Is because of the idiots on here who think they are right to park in any car park , even if it is for a shop they will never use the. They will wriggle out of any charges because they are inconsiderate and irresponsible. They are the worst of the greedy selfish people who claim to be helping others. That help is to everyone except those who wan to use the shop in question.
