The year was 2000. I went to Aldi's for the first time ever. They tell me I need to pay $.25 for a shopping cart. I said ok. I remember buying a lot of box dinners, hamburger helper type stuff. anyways, I go to pay and the bagger was clipping his toenails on the conveyor belt thingy. I wasn't even offended, i just laughed at the balls it would take to do something like that. I've never been to another Aldi's but it gets my vote.
