Bye (not buy) Aldi!

Damn it, Aldi!! 👎😡😡

Isn’t Aldi a German company?

angiekeeton.bsky.social•22 days ago

It’s complicated. There are two branches. https://www.businessinsider.com/aldi-history-albrecht-family-karl-theo-grocery-store-shop-retail-2022-12#the-brothers-split-the-aldi-empire-after-a-fight-over-cigarettes-4

@profdolfi.bsky.social look what’s finally getting picked up 👀

profdolfi.bsky.social•22 days ago

About time

glh62.bsky.social•22 days ago

I also noticed most of their locations were in rural red areas not in many urban settings 🤔

stlhandmaid.bsky.social•22 days ago

Maybe in your area but in St. Louis and Chicago there are numerous stores in the burbs.

glh62.bsky.social•22 days ago

'Burbs', usually refer to suburban not urban

stlhandmaid.bsky.social•22 days ago

Thank you for the correction!

stlhandmaid.bsky.social•22 days ago

True. Sorry. I was thinking “not rural” and not being accurate. St. Louis city is a food desert. There are so few options for residents. It’s so difficult for residents without a car to get food at an affordable price.

glh62.bsky.social•22 days ago

I stopped when I noticed most of the food I bought would spoil much quicker than other stores.

dreamweavers86.bsky.social•22 days ago

What state are you in? In Florida their produce lasts longer than most of our overpriced chains, including Walmart

glh62.bsky.social•22 days ago

My experience was in Maryland over the last 3 years. Walmart produce is gross

dreamweavers86.bsky.social•22 days ago

We have major grocery chains that aren't as fresh and overpriced including Publix, our "high end chain". Interesting you've found yours to not last as long when Aldi nationwide is one that buys their produce locally as much as possible. Always intriguing to hear from the east coast

glh62.bsky.social•22 days ago

I live on the West coast currently. My last couple years were in MD. No Aldi's in PNW.

dreamweavers86.bsky.social•22 days ago

Do they have anything similar? Just curious

danjire.bsky.social•22 days ago

Won’t be shopping at @aldiireland.bsky.social

dreamblu.bsky.social•22 days ago

Okay. No Aldi. 🤷🏽‍♀️

kc897.bsky.social•22 days ago

Oh fuck….I have to quit Aldi?

shareenbanks.bsky.social•22 days ago

Nah, i dont believe it. They are out of Germany.

hapekatt.bsky.social•22 days ago

For a second there I thought Aldi was ok but now have completely reversed that opinion.

slcdec.bsky.social•22 days ago

Didn't ship there anyway. So, good. Glad I didn't.

soneaux.bsky.social•22 days ago

By Aldi

ricswartzlander.bsky.social•22 days ago

Costco is the solution.

diana52.bsky.social•21 days ago

We need more Costcos. I don’t have one near me. I know they ship, but if I wasn’t to grocery shop too, I can’t.

ricswartzlander.bsky.social•21 days ago

They do need more. They’re all a drive for me too.

kaycesimone.bsky.social•22 days ago

Well fuck. I can’t afford groceries if I don’t shop at Aldi. My bill goes up +$50 or more for the same stuff anywhere else. Dang it.

dawnkelly.bsky.social•22 days ago

Let those who can afford to do it boycott. You do what you need to in order to get by right now.

doridoll.bsky.social•22 days ago

Well that sucks! Thankfully I have a Costco near me and my local grocery store hires everyone and the prices are great.

mklcolvin.bsky.social•22 days ago

Costco, please consider building in La! I’d join in a heartbeat!

sgaylestevens.bsky.social•22 days ago

If you’re saying Louisiana there’s one in New Orleans and Baton Rouge

momus.bsky.social•22 days ago

everyone needs a reason for an extra trip to NO

sgaylestevens.bsky.social•22 days ago

Exactly. They have an excellent wine selection if you imbibe.

djmonijn.bsky.social•22 days ago

Aldi say it isn’t true

bcaspar.bsky.social•22 days ago

boycott

elegantpigeon.bsky.social•22 days ago

Nooooo. Damn it.

theevilmullet.bsky.social•22 days ago

I hope they are removing it as a symbolic gesture to keep orange man happy but keeping it behind the scenes. I cant afford to shop at publix and aldi is the next best as there isnt a costco around.

bluemondegren.bsky.social•22 days ago

Buh bye Aldi

tbh72.bsky.social•21 days ago

It’s a German company…

mmjjee.bsky.social•22 days ago

NOT ALDI.
I’M RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS. SIGH.

stlhandmaid.bsky.social•22 days ago

This one negativity hits my pocketbook. There are many items I buy there at a significant savings. I may have to only purchase those items there and balance the rest with Schnucks & Costco. I’m already not buying from Walmart & Target.

stlhandmaid.bsky.social•22 days ago

*…one negatively hits my…

stlhandmaid.bsky.social•22 days ago

I need to call Schnucks to confirm they are still committed to their DEI policy.

stlhandmaid.bsky.social•22 days ago

Noooooo. Not Aldi too. 🥺

krob7008.bsky.social•22 days ago

These people have all types of employees and customers, and most are NOT white males. Why are they removing DEI. King Con doesn't shop at any stores, nor does he read anything besides tweets.

Another company succumbs to the Orange plague. I am shocked beyond words. Is it just me or do any of you feel like vomiting.

feistywiddershins.bsky.social•22 days ago

I've heard that it is no longer public, but still accessible to employees. Not sure if true. Maybe Aldi employees can weigh in?

nanilisa.bsky.social•22 days ago

Shoot. That was my non target fall back.

nanswak.bsky.social•22 days ago

Aldi’s and Trader Joe’s are owned by the same company, Aldi Nord.

goetsch-a-sketch.bsky.social•22 days ago

Ooo I smell a boycott, aldi!

terra-t.bsky.social•22 days ago

Well, Aldi let their employees sit at the registers and still pay store employees more than other US grocery stores.

Regardless if they are following shitty American trends, I can’t hate Aldi atm

quiquaequod.bsky.social•22 days ago

Ye bye moldy cheese mfs

heidispangler.bsky.social•21 days ago

Ugh! I didn’t realize Aldi was on the bad list. Guess I won’t be buying any Rose Cones this Valentines Day. Thank you for sharing this. I don’t live near an Albertsons but I’m hoping Meijer is Ok.

diana52.bsky.social•21 days ago

Check out Goods Unite Us. It lists a lot of companies and tells you exactly how they lean on issues.

cooperatives.bsky.social•20 days ago

It displays the donation ratio. It doesn't seem to mention much else. Better to do the research than to rely on that app, as it shows Amazon donating more to Ds, but it has rolled back on DEI and Black/LGBT+ rights and is owned by Bezos.

diana52.bsky.social•20 days ago

I use the app and research the products/ companies that l use and make informed decisions. I know Amazon is bad. I just saw Aldi quietly took DEI off of their site as well.

harmadryad.bsky.social•21 days ago

Damnit, as far as I can tell none of these are in SE Virginia.

alifleur.bsky.social•21 days ago

It sucks but I'll still choose it over Walmart. I don't have a Costco near me. I have BJs and I know nothing of their reputation. I usually shop at the grocery store I work at. I'm in a rural location so not many options. If you're low income and not got many options ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

diana52.bsky.social•21 days ago

We have Sams club near us and that’s same owners as Walmart 🤬

gaffe.fun•20 days ago

TIL :-\

alifleur.bsky.social•19 days ago

Dang. Thanks for the info. And I just got a good offer from them in the mail, $20 for a year membership. I will research more to see how they treat they are overall because they could still be a lesser evil than Walmart. 😔

alifleur.bsky.social•19 days ago

*how they are overall. Bluesky you need an edit button! Lol

gaffe.fun•19 days ago

Right. I'm already a BJ's member myself, I had actually switched away from Costco a couple years ago because Costco is always a crowded zoo with a dangerous parking lot - shopping there was really unpleasant!

I'll see when my BJs membership expires and reevaluate then.

barbsescapepod.bsky.social•22 days ago

Very disappointed.

61corvair.bsky.social•22 days ago

Shit! I just dropped Walmart to go all-in with Aldi and Kroger because Meijer and Target are crap.

wmnew61.bsky.social•22 days ago

Good to know!!!!!!!!!

anchorneck.bsky.social•22 days ago

another fucking boycott

mrianjohnson.bsky.social•22 days ago

They risk customers who are able to, switching to a competitor brand.

Including more people into their customer base — and within their target potential employee talent pool — represents smart business, that is able to strengthen commercial performance.

Stepping back is a short-sighted mistake.

concerned2.bsky.social•22 days ago

Another store I won't be able to shop at. Looks like Costco ONLY

peggyfrompa.bsky.social•22 days ago

Booooo! I hope Lidl and Trader Joe’s still support DEI

16n471u5.bsky.social•19 days ago

Welp, I was going to Lidl more often anyway.

howsthefocus.bsky.social•22 days ago

Damn it, Aldi. We were just about to switch to them as a way to 'vote with our dollars'. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

carolinefree.bsky.social•22 days ago

Another one bites the dust

trapanda.bsky.social•22 days ago

Welp another store added to the ban list

pelzerpam.bsky.social•22 days ago

eriwers.bsky.social•22 days ago

geoffreyj4.bsky.social•22 days ago

amyers63.bsky.social•22 days ago

So disappointing

deannalynn1.bsky.social•22 days ago

Fuck Aldi! Only shop at Costco moving forward.

thebeehammer.com•21 days ago

That is really not tenable for a lot of people. Costco is not good at covering all of the bases and is too expensive for people with less income. I love Costco but you need a supplemental store and this sucks.

deannalynn1.bsky.social•21 days ago

I find Costco very accessible and affordable. Hopefully, there is another option close for you.

thebeehammer.com•21 days ago

I just know every time I go to Costco it is a $300 adventure and that is not something I would have been able to do a couple years ago. Aldi is the only affordable grocery in my area for people who need it.

oboogie.bsky.social•21 days ago

It’s not helpful when you don’t have one in your area. Not even nearby. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ebun1922.bsky.social•22 days ago

Aren't they German owned?

planetarypeepshow.bsky.social•22 days ago

Technically yes but it’s Austrian based. German family that split into two in the 60s. The are owned by the family that made base in Austria and is Aldi Süd in Germany. Trader Joe’s is owned by Aldi Nord that is still German based

ebun1922.bsky.social•22 days ago

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the insight!

jacksprat39.bsky.social•21 days ago

Aldi's is German and one the creepiest supermarkets in the US. You have to pay for a shipping cart and the merchandise looks packaged in Ethiopia or Mongolia. Lidl is the other alien market.

gaildee.bsky.social•22 days ago

This is a major disappointment. Lower prices and good quality.

canadiantransplant.bsky.social•22 days ago

I hate this, but practically speaking, Aldi is the only place many in this community can afford to shop. The nearest Costco is 2 hours away. We can’t just stop buying food. What can we do? Asking in all seriousness!!!

calamitygoddexx.bsky.social•22 days ago

That is the really sad part that I don’t think people calling for a boycott understand. Some people can’t afford to go elsewhere or don’t have the community resources, like a farmers market to go to. We are all trying to survive in the wake of tariffs and recalls.

calamitygoddexx.bsky.social•22 days ago

If you can, look at food banks in you area. A lot do give fresh vegetables, fruits and meat as well as pantry staples. No one should be shamed if they cannot participate in a boycott.

rhodamac.bsky.social•22 days ago

On the other hand, they stay out of politics via Citizens United. No political donations.
I’ll take this over Walmart any day.

jonpelican.bsky.social•22 days ago

They're hardly stepping out of politics when they remove that from their web site.

ms4tune.bsky.social•22 days ago

Owned by the same parent company

wokeandwindy.bsky.social•22 days ago

While some retailers, such as Target, have recently concluded certain DEI initiatives, there is no current evidence to suggest that Trader Joe’s has made similar changes.

ms4tune.bsky.social•22 days ago

They are owned by the same parent company as Aldi. They will either soon change their DEi policies like Aldi did to kiss Trumps ass or else public outcry will get Aldi to back off before Traders has to change too.

uptown-thunk.bsky.social•22 days ago

So many corporate programs aren't actually genuine in the first place unfortunately. So they are doing whatever they think will increase their shareholder value.

Ok, but let's do more research before thinking something online e is real!

calamitygoddexx.bsky.social•22 days ago

The rollback is in the Aldi north, where it affects the communities in the US. According to the report only employees can see the DEI policies and not consumers(?). It’s confusing.

strandschaf.bsky.social•20 days ago

Please don't just boycott Aldi, tell them! I wrote to the mother company in Germany to ask for clarification and remind them that cowardice in the US will hurt them here.

Education works by talking about positive and negative outcomes for actions. Silent treatment doesn't work for companies, too.
