Aldi

Aldi is a supermarket chain that just opened an outlet nearby. Lots of guys in suits, women in heels and black cocktail dresses. Free samples of crackers, chips, salsa dip, rice cakes and marshmallow cookies. Clean aisles, helpful clerks, a free reusable bag, slashed prices, easy reading labels. What more could you ask for?
Well, there were no crackers with unsalted tops, no peanuts anywhere, not enough variety, especially in produce, no low sugar yogurt, not enough toothpaste variety.
Plus they are closed Sunday and do not take credit cards, only debit and cash.
Walmart and Target flank Aldi and I can't see how they will survive. But I never heard so many suits spouting happy executive talk while checking for messages. I should have gone back for more cookies and rice cakes.
