    Dear management at Aldi at 2844 South Alma School Road, Chandler, AZ 85286 1-Star Review: Frustrating Checkout Experience I visited this Aldi location recently and had a very disappointing experience at checkout. I had carefully organized my groceries, separating items by temperature, and had even brought a box to pack them efficiently. When I politely asked the cashier if we could scan the items and place them directly back into the box to maintain the separation, my request was met with a complete lack of understanding and helpfulness. Instead of accommodating a simple and reasonable request that would have made the process smoother for both of us, the cashier seemed unwilling to deviate from their usual routine. This made the checkout process unnecessarily difficult and frustrating. Aldi prides itself on efficiency, but this experience felt anything but. It's incredibly unhelpful when a basic customer request is ignored, especially when it's aimed at preserving the quality of perishable goods. I hope that management at this location will address the need for better customer service and flexibility from their cashiers. A little understanding goes a long way in the police officer who received these groceries was not happy with the results of the poor experience that I received and the fact that he received damaged goods from your store that he paid money for a quality product from Aldi's. I would also like to point out that this is not uncommon for Aldi's to just throw stuff into the cart like it's nothing and as this lady specifically stated to me that she is on a timer for scanning items through her register and she says it directly affects her if she doesn't scan stuff and throw into a cart she openly admitted that she did not care about the groceries being sent out to the customer nor does she care about my needs or the customers needs. And instead she disrespected your food that I was delivering to your customer.

    This has got to be the cleanest store in Arizona!!! They were sanitizing everything using great safety precautions and they actually had sanitizing stations that actually were filled which, I have not found often in stores! ‍ I stopped in to grab sugar but noticed that they didn't have a wide selection to choose from. It's been years since I shopped in Aldi (Since a Germany trip). I ended up browsing more so, and forgetting to even buy the sugar walking out with nothing. My first problem was entering while hungry so I made the choice to go back on a full tummy. lol I noticed that their grapes and other fruits looked really fresh and well organized. I'll definitely ğo back for fruit, sugar and ice coffee which all were cheaper then Frys and other grocery stores.

    Release the inner Canadian in you by snacking on these maple leaf crème cookies.

    I probably should have known better than to try to shop here on their opening weekend. It was crazy busy! I've shopped at Aldis in the Chicago area which have been more spacious than this one. They try to compress a lot of products in the space that they have and while the aisles are fairly wide the shopping carts are equally as wide. As a result, if there are a lot of people shopping you will be moving at a snail's pace as you encounter shopping cart traffic! Unfortunately they also don't offer shopping baskets which I definitely would have used instead for greater mobility and convenience. As for the products sold here, they have rock bottom prices. $.29/lb bananas! $4.99/lb choice ribeye! You can get a box of Girl Scout Cookie Tagalong lookalike cookies for less than $2 too! Since they are a European company you can get European style chocolates too for cheap. Employees were very friendly and nice. What makes their prices so low? They cut back on a few things that your typical grocery store offers. You have to bag your own groceries and bring your own bags. There are also no shopping cart corrals to leave your cart in at the parking lot. Will I be back? This location is pretty far from where I live and while I do love a good deal, there's not much else in this area for me to do. I do know they are opening up an Aldi in Tempe so that will be nice!

    Too many people, no social distancing enforcement

    We heard Aldi's was open and decided to check it out. My husband was a fan when he lived in Indianapolis. This location is a little over 6 miles south of us. The parking lot was full, but we were able to find a spot not too far away. Staff was wiping down cart handles when we arrived and the usual $.25 "rental" fee was not required due to the grand opening. As we walked in we noticed that it was really crowded, and social distancing was neither being enforced, or encouraged. I was not personally impressed with either the selection or prices, I have been spoiled by bigger stores closer to my house. I also did not see any pet food or supplies. Having cats, this is a total deal killer for me. (Thankfully I stocked up for them last weekend elsewhere.) The flow of foot traffic was pretty steady and the wine collection across from the frozen foods did catch my eye. This store is about the size of your average restaurant. When we were ready to check out we were directed to a short lane. Beware, there is NO room to maneuver within the check out lane, so you need to be in front of your cart in order to unload it, or be a super skinny contortionist....That is NOT one of my many talents. The cashiers are seated, which is great for them, reducing fatigue. Groceries are scanned and immediately placed back in the cart. No bags are offered, however, you can bring your own, or purchase reusable bags there. There is not much conversation between the checker and purchasers, as they want to get you through the lane quickly. We did have a quick hello and have a nice day. A section in front of the aisles is available for patrons to bag and organize their goods prior to leaving. We took our cart back to the car and unloaded our goods in to our large reusable cooler bags. Exiting the lot is an exercise in patience, as cars are coming from four directions, but there is a light, so getting back on to Alma School is relatively easy. I am glad that I went, but I won't return unless I am in the area. I have a half dozen other choices, with wider selections and lower prices, closer to my home.

    Holiday stuff
    Pratishruti M.

    Aldi's has finally come to Arizona.There was a lot of buzz and I'm glad I did not go on opening day but we waited for a few days and went to see what the store is all about. You need a quarter to use the carts bummer! Don't worry you get it back when you return the cart.I was disappointed because I didn't have a quarter.The store was neatly arranged with signs encouraging social distancing. Produce looked very fresh we perused through the isles and found some interesting European cookies , chocolates and creamers.They also a have a isle decided to holiday stuff. Prices were competitive and my guess is they are more of a specialty grocery store with European items think of it as a smaller version of Trader Joe's. I think the variety is not as good. Selection is limited. Lastly they charge for bags 10 cents bummer Again. There's just two things you need to know if you plan to visit Aldi's 1.Keep a quarter handy 2.Bring your own Bag Cheers!

    Gotta love the unique & fun finds!

    See all

The second time I had to do it all myself, for both me and my sister, and I got told I was being greedy for buying two load,s, even though we were sharing with other family members, too. They shamed me, patently refused to give me some of what they gave the people ahead of me double amounts of and which they gave to some people behind me in line, too. Told me I was greedy and selfish. I got mocked for crying and was told that I should have known better than to be so selfish and they laughed when some of my food got stolen. The veggies were mostly okay, though. The grapes were all rotten. The third time I went, years later, I got one load and they gave me most of the things they gave other people but the volunteer handing out the paper towels literally threw them at me and said "I guess you have to get every free thing you can!" They gave me several boxes of dates. The veggies were good. The fourth time everything was rotten except a few only semi okay veggies. Less than 7 lbs total. I would have gotten a better deal from the grocery store. They were definitely playing favorites among both known people and for other reasons. The fifth and last time I went we ordered ahead and they were just going to load us up. They only loaded up for one family but three of us came. Then, after a lot of arguing, they grudgingly gave us three rolls of paper towels and two boxes of dates and called it good. I hear very good things about this organization. So, I am thinking it is more about the volunteers they happen to get in certain neighborhoods. The first time we went, we drove pretty far out of our way and it was great. The other times were all in the Sacred Heart Parking lot except one time when it was nearer to this area of town but not quite that close.

    Cheap Veggies!!!! I love Borderland's amazing produce rescue program. On a Saturday schedule at…read morevarious community organizations in Tucson and Phoenix volunteers coordinate the veggie pickups. You pay $10 cash and take your own box, crate, or some grocery bags and load up 60 pounds of fruits and vegetables. Each Saturday they have a different assortment of vegetables which is posted on their Facebook and website. Usually between 7am and 10am. Program runs during produce season, November through August. Produce available, from my understanding, is whatever they couldn't market and is tagged to be trashed. Perfectly good stuff, some of the peppers may be funny shapes with a few blemishes, and some things may be closer to their spoiling point, but for the most part it's perfect. This weekend we went to the pickup at St. Francis in the Foothills church on Swan and East River. For $10 you were allowed to take 37 Roma tomatoes, 4 butternut squash, 11 pickling cucumbers, 3 mini watermelons, 11 yellow bell peppers, 11 orange bell peppers, 11 yellow squash, and 1 bag mini sweet bell peppers. The variety and amount of each veggie you can take always changes, but it always equals about 60 pounds. We almost always split our box with a friend because it is too much for our household of two. Totally worth it if you can get yourself up and out of the house early on a Saturday.
