That was me describing our BRAND NEW "Aldi" here in Culpeper, VA. And just to be fair, a few months ago my husband & I revisited just to see whether or not it was just "grand opening" problems they were having when they opened last year.
Unfortunately not. Still the same old pallets full of questionable junk food, & still the same palleted cardboard boxes full of unchilled produce with fruit flies all over the place. Nothing in the "meat department" except for 3-pound packages of cheap ground beef & 5-pound packages of bologna. It was awful, & just brings folks shopping on a budget to the lowest common denominator possible - not to mention unhealthy to boot.
They could drop their prices to next to nothing & you still wouldn't find me in there. Regardless of how the folks around here might feel politically about WalMart, they definitely get better quality & bang for their buck by walking across the street & shopping there instead.
I continue to feel that the Aldi here is nothing but an embarrassment to our community. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that it eventually leaves due to lack of patronage.
