"Aldi is growing fast in the U.S., and it's not hard to see why. It's budget-friendly, but it has some pretty good quality products, too (some say they'll even drive out of their way to get their hands on certain Aldi items). If you're a loyal or newbie Aldi shopper, you might be wondering how things actually work behind the scenes at this popular German retailer."
"At the time of writing, the average salary for a cashier at the grocery store is $19.20 per hour, which is 13% above the national average. But many employees say that, while the pay is good, they are expected to work very hard for it. Each store tends to run with a small team (sometimes, it's fewer than three people or even less), which means that each employee is usually rushed off their feet with serving customers, unloading stock, stacking shelves, and cleaning."
Aldi is growing rapidly in the U.S., offering budget-friendly prices alongside surprisingly good-quality products that attract devoted shoppers. Employees possess practical knowledge about store operations, optimal shopping times for discounts, benefits, and strategies to obtain limited "Aldi Finds" before others. Staff report that store teams are small, workloads are heavy, and individual employees often juggle stocking, customer service, and cleaning duties. Average cashier pay is $19.20 per hour, about 13% above the national average, but employees say higher pay accompanies high expectations and hard work. Employees stress that shopper kindness reduces stress and improves service, as staff sometimes face yelling, anger, and name-calling from customers.
