The end

Put in my two weeks today and honestly have never felt so much relief. The worst part is I like my team and my manager but I feel like even a good team can’t escape the “ethics” of aldi. I work at a high volume store where they try to push different numbers, times and programs on us that simply do not work for the volume we do at our store. We literally sign into the DRT and set them down because it doesn’t account for our third curbside phone and no one can fix it. On any given day I am holding 2 if not all 3 curbside phones by myself, orders and runners on all of them. Truck is rarely done when I come in to close. I rarely leave at my scheduled time because we are so behind. Workers from other stores come to ours to fill in and leave crying by the end of their shift. Everyone says their customers aren’t nearly as mean and entitled as ours. And it’s just exhausting. What finally broke me was finding out that they will not hire DMs if they have worked in a store because it caused them to “sympathize with us”. It just showed it will never improve because they will never understand how a store actually operates. We aren’t people we are numbers.
