ALDI has spent years building a reputation as one of America’s favorite budget supermarkets — but lately, customers have been noticing things that don’t add up. In this video, we break down the complaints, shocking customer experiences, product quality issues, pricing problems, and questionable service that have been raising eyebrows across social media.
From spoiled food and mold to checkout mistakes, questionable product quality, and frustrating customer service — here’s what shoppers say is really happening behind the low prices at ALDI. And the more customers speak out, the harder it becomes to ignore.

Again. A store steals, accident. I steal, arrested and receive a criminal charge. The fact people think companies are honest these days is pathetic. Every company is corrupt

Everyone is doing it. Everywhere.

Since 2020-2021 everything has been suffering from enshitification

@garrettdodson6110 2 days ago

Walmart is doing the exact same thing. Their price tags show price and then the price per ounce below. Do the math and you’re always being overcharged.

People don't check their receipt IN the store? That's wild to me. Always check after you buy, don't wait till you're home.

@lisamarks6308 2 days ago

All of the stores do these things. Check your receipts and food

Telling me to "Don't forget to like and subscribe" before I've watched the video pretty much guarantees that I'm not going to.

I bet the single dislike is from an ALDI board member.

When I worked briefly in grocery stores long ago, I was told to fill items more than the weight to make sure that the customer would get the full amount (like tomatoes or strawberries or meat).

We don't have those problems in Europe. The fault is not with the chains like ALDI or Walmart. The fault is with the suppliers. However the chains should have quality control.

Jb hunt hauls all ALDI product and they are a horrible delivery carrier in the trucking industry.
It's no ALDI it's jb hunt that is responsible.

If you buy a product from a store, remember that the store bought it as well. They're not responsible for the packaged food they buy. If there's mold in something, blame the company that packaged it.

Wow, people are actually dumb and just want to shit on non-American companies
Every single one of these issues happens MORE at Walmart, target, Kroger, meijer, festival
Every single one, and MORE often
And Aldi is still cheaper than most
There’s just less aldis so you notice it more
They also have refund guarantees.
Do people think aldis is about quality?
Theyre not, they are about cheap and efficient.

tried shopping at Aldi twice. Didn't have half of what I needed. Not much difference in price shopping at Meijer. Won't be wasting my time there.

I have a running joke with the workers at my two locations. Every time I begin to really like something it either gets discontinued or put in Aldi finds and eventually disappears. Cookie dough bites gone, Aldi coconut oil popcorn gone, smores trail mix went to finds, coconut milk choceur bars gone. I can't think of the other two. It's like they're trying to get rid of me. I try my best to like something as high as meh and it still goes away. 😮‍💨

Just go back to the store and get your money back. I just stopped shopping there because the produce kept being bad.

I used to work at Aldi as a shift manager. One time they delivered an entire box of rotten, liquified watermelons. It was leaking from the bottom, worst smell I have ever experienced. I had to dig through it to save the good ones, took me hours. This was not the only time they delivered rotton produce. They under staff the stores to save money. Staff does NOT have time to inspect before it goes out. I would run an entire shift with me and 1 other person for the whole store, all the time.
