What I have learned? I have learned to hate retail. If you "know too much" then you will get your basic 25 hours in favor of someone else (there are always a pets) who will get up to 40 hours per week, even though you will have same 25 hours contract. But if you are man, you are done.you will carry all the physical work in a shift, you will be the donkey for the day! You will sign up for a 25 hours per week contract and you will usually get 30 hours, sometimes more on a busy periods, but if they decide they will send you home anytime thru out your shift, that is why they keep every one on 25 hours contract. If you are lady you will get more privileges like doing easier job, seating on the tills most of time etc.

People are leaving because of the stress and constant pressure. That is why you see people on the tills barely speak English. They recently launched new campaign in order to attract new hires, if a current employee refer someone else, it gets paid 500 after a year, yet still can't find people, that is why they hire literally just any one. Huge staff turnaround and no wonder they struggle to attract new hirers. You get paid more then other retailers but does it worth at the end? NO, it does not! Every one I know working in Aldi has developed back pain after a year or less. Extremely Stressful! Extremely difficult and stressful job.
