Where I live, they are mean-spirited and cheap, carrying mostly the food of the poor - starchy foods and silly things like fruit roll-ups.

I bought a package of their sausages once. They were awful. Weren't spoiled, but weren't nice, either. Far too salty. I soon threw them away.

I buy their Beaumont coffee, however. I've been told to look for their "German coffee," and will try that.

One day I was in an Aldi when a young cashier dropped a dime into a crack. She asked the security guard to pick it up for her, but he just stared at her without speaking. I gave her a dime from my purse, and she was pathetically grateful.
