Alcohol and Aldi?

Does anyone know what Aldis policy on this is?
I have just been to the said store wearing a leather jacket , casual shirt and unironed trousers.
As soon as i got in, i marched in a straight line to get my usual stuff and lo and behold they had moved a lot of the stuff around since i last had been in 10 days ago.
I admittedly must have mumbled to myself in a low voice about how i just want to get in and out without having to play hide and seek to get my groceries . I had not been in more than a minute , when i felt a presence uncomfortably right behind me and i turned to see what it was.
The Security guard was then right next to me , breathing my air and then said that " i could stay" I sarcasticially thanked him for his vote of confidence and then he told me that "people who had been drinking were not allowed on the premises.
In the last 5 years, i have probably downed 2 pints and two small bottles(50ml?) of whiskey for strictly medicinal purposes.
In a much louder voice after getting the stuff that i required i spoke to an assistant going into the office , very much in earshot of the others waiting in the queue, i mentioned what had happened to him and suggested to him that if Mr Aldi disaproves of people drinking so much, then it might be a good idea not to sell the stuff in the first place.
Then i promptly,(after paying) marched out in a straight line!
I am actually annoyed for being singled out there although i was not to my mind causing distress or harrassment to anyone there
(Vent Over)

That must have been my non existent twin brother last week.
Momentarily i thought he had thought that i was someone else but it was not the case.

Rubbish!
That only applies to selling them alcohol even if it does apply in a supermarket.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0 -
What I'm puzzled about is why you didn't iron your trousers.0
