Aldi cashier's ferocious speed leaves poor mother in tears
 
Quote:

A British mother was left 'in tears' and 'in shock' after a confrontation with an Aldi cashier.

The mum says she was shopping with her three children when the row over the speed of his scanning occurred.

Nicola Fuller became embroiled in a tense discussion with the "disgracefully rude" staff member, reports our sister title the Daily Mirror.

She said she was left traumatised by his "aggressive approach" and the "ferocious" speed of the conveyor belts while checking out.

The loyal Aldi shopper says the worker refused to slow down his scanning - even as food fell from the allocated packing area onto the floor "like a slot machine."

Eventually "huge towers" of products piled up, as Nicola "frantically reached" to pack her bags as quickly as possible.

"He could see my struggle and when a tin finally fell, I began crying and shaking," she said.

"I knelt to the floor to pick up the food while simultaneously trying to watch my children.

"I asked the cashier to please stop scanning through more food and that it felt like he was throwing the items at me."

But Nicola says she received a "blunt and aggressive" response, as the cashier accused her of not "packing quickly enough" and dubbed her a "liar" for her accusations.

Nicola said another Aldi worker then took over and diffused the tense exchange, while the cashier walked away.

"The other worker was very lovely and understanding," she said. "But the incident has personally knocked my confidence.

"Shopping with three children can be challenging enough without suffering panic and anxiety at the checkout and leaving the store in tears.

"I was shocked how someone in customer care could disregard my struggle with no empathy or care whatsoever. It's totally unacceptable."

Nicola, who was shopping with her children aged two, three and seven, says she reported the incident to Aldi's customer care team, who say they have raised it with the area manager.

Having shopped at the supermarket chain for the last 10 years, she says she now feels "worried" about returning to the store.

"Normally I pop into Aldi a couple of times a week, but I've been putting it off," she said.

"I'll have to face it at some stage, but the experience has really unnerved me and I'll be steering well clear of that particular employee."

Her account raises wider questions about the limited space in Aldi packing areas, which has divided shoppers before.

She said: "I've never liked the checkouts. It's always a rush, and the area is so small. I've never had an experience as horrid as this one though."

An Aldi spokesperson said: “Our colleagues are trained to work at a pace suitable for each individual customer. We have spoken to Ms Fuller to apologise for her experience at the Guisborough store and hope to see her again in the future.”

This sounds ridiculous. I mean, yeah, sometimes you get a rude person at any place that is customer service. But being traumatized? Give me a break. When did people become so soft?

Well she’s British, so it’s to be expected.

Are we sure? A good amount of people seem to lack the ability to "get over it".... like Bills fans and Wide Right.... or Donks fans and lack of relevance

You’re having an existential crisis over some click bait article from three years ago. Back away from your phone and re-enter perfectly fine society.

Let this lady be sensitive and blame the media for giving a normal experience air time.

We've solved all of the real problems in the West. Now people have to invent problems and new things to find offensive.

Blimey, what a row!!

Rain Man 05-24-2024 09:51 AM

This gives me the opportunity to complain about how small the packing areas are at the self checkout at my grocery store. You have to put every item on the packing area because it weighs them, but then there's not enough room to put everything so you end up carefully stacking things and taking way longer than you would if they would just provide a little more room. It's a terrible, terrible design.

They do have half a dozen self-checkouts that are reasonably sized, but they're about 25% of the total checkouts. I'll often just refuse to use the poorly designed ones and wait until one of the decent ones is clear.

ptlyon 05-24-2024 10:14 AM

Why not just have your minions do your shopping RM?

Or is this what the offer to DaFace is about?

I don't trust anybody to do my shopping. There's too much potential for sabotage.

KCUnited 05-24-2024 10:31 AM

I made a cashier cry once

I had a halo screwed into my head for a fractured vertebra and had my wife drive me to my favorite liquor store (Binny's Lincoln Park IYKYK)

The cashier lady grabbed my hand, asked if I was going to be ok, and started crying

Thats how we do in America...honestly though I never went outside again until it was removed because I was clearly traumatizing people

Honestly sounds traumatizing. I was getting anxiety just reading it. Reliving every moment. Ever jar of applesauce just blasting down the conveyor belt. Ground beef jettisoning past the scanner at break neck pace. Jars and cans...fruits, veggies....all just hurling through the checkout like asteroids zipping through space. And then her kids are screaming too? "Mom! Mom! my lunchables!"

Ughhh...that poor woman. Sounds horrifying. The kind of stuff they make movies and video games out of.

At least we know she wasn’t buying soap or toothpaste since she’s British

People have been soft for a LONG time. Imagine being angry, offended, or "traumatized" at the thought of having to share a swimming pool, restaurant, or water fountain with someone that looked different than you.

Interesting plot twist

Delano 05-24-2024 12:18 PM

For the little snowflake bitches lurking and downvoting, can’t you stand on your opinions enough to post em up? Probably best to anonymously downvote and not spew your pathetic, backwards, and hateful bull shit in a public forum, I guess. Y’all lack any fortitude and have the bloodlines of inbred guinea pigs. You have more in common than the lady in the OP than you know.

You are right. They don't even want to share graduation. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...uation-events/

I think we're headed toward separate but equal schools, buses, and drinking fountains. Is that good?

'ferocious' cashiers, lol. What kind of world are we living in?

BigOlChiefsfan 05-24-2024 08:57 PM

Aldi has pretty good 'store brand' cheese for reasonable $$$, if you're not afraid of speedy checkout trauma or bagging your own groceries. I think they started in Germany and spread out.

That's what I'm thinking. In the Kansas City area you have your Brown and Crouppens, Mikes Got This, and Edelman & Thompson law firms advertising all the time. People want the easy money grab so they will make up things or exaggerate an injury just to get a chunk of dough.

I think that as long as they hold office politicians should be required to use only government services. Public transportation, housing, medicine, etc. It would keep them closer to the honest end of the spectrum. Or at least impact them enough to put minimal effort in to keep them functional.

And honestly I'd prefer for honest and hard working people to not have to suffer their nonsense...

Yea, imagine the softness of a 79 year old being scalded by coffee that is 30* hotter than any other place. Or that, in the previous decade, MCD's had over 700 previous complaints/settlements over the temperature of their coffee scalding their customers.

And the gall and 'softness' of a 79 year old to ask them to cover her medical expenses of gasp $2000 (her out of pocket expenses.) Yet, MCD's offered $800.
And what a soft ass bitch to need skin grafts all over her abdomen and thighs from 3rd degree burns from said coffee. Tough guys here would have walked around and shown them like a spray painted tat. And add to that she settled for less than the jury award. It was an NDA in exchange for MCD's not appealing the case.

Add to that, they are currently in the midst of two new from those rough and tumble Texas folks (seeking $250kwho had scalding coffee spilled into their laps in a drive through.

Or, and some people might have to stretch their brains a bit here, you simply don’t put hot liquids between your legs. Anytime, but particularly when driving/riding in a vehicle.


Sounds really difficult at first, but if you practice hard, you’ll find that you’ll never burn your lap/crotch with hot liquids.
