i get a lesser version of this from Aldi. for a while i was calling it grocery store socialism. just grab “the thing” and the thing is relatively inexpensive and decent. not institutional grade store brand but ok
in and out
then go home and cook whatever you want there are literally hundreds of variations of recipes for all one’s choice paralysis needs
Only thing that really sucks about Aldi and Lidl is that they’re pretty anti-union (as are most grocery stores) and work their people to the bone. Totally agree on the rest - good enough groceries for cheap in a reasonably sized store that you don’t have to wander forever.
yeah. i work for a different co same business. no union. they work us to the bone too mostly by keeping stores at permanent skeleton crew.
so i do look upon the little advantages the eurostores have with some envy. chairs. little powered pallet jacks with a cargo bed. the efficient stocking.
the grocery industry is kind of having a moment now not sure where it’s going but it’s being hollowed out bad.
the experienced people are leaving in droves, the young ones aren’t replacing them. and everyone else is aging out
I worked in a union grocery warehouse and I can’t say it sounds better. They still treated us like shit, and when covid hit? Mandatory 12 hour shifts of timed physical labor. Those places churn through people and bodies like it’s nothing.
