Why People Love Aldi

Weird History Food gives us the history of Aldi, and only halfway through do they switch to why people love the grocery store. They don't go deep enough into the labor force, though. Aldi saves money by only having two or three employees on duty, whereas Kroger will have 40-50 during peak hours- plus overnight workers stocking shelves. At Aldi, every worker is either stocking shelves or checking out customers, and that's all they do. The employees are paid well and treated well, and they love checking out customers, because they sit down on bar stools to do it, unlike most American grocery chains. The reason you can't get a job at Aldi is because every grocery worker in town is waiting for one of the rare job openings at Aldi.
