Wow, this is rally strange a manager would ever address the situation the way you describe. If true, it's sad, very sad and that manager should be fired. Sounds as though you might have a case of a manager with RIP disease (retired in place) the worst kind to work for, which could explain why and where employee attitude issues originate. It might be (hopefully) just a case of one bad manager apple causing the entire store behavior problems.

It'll be interesting and telling to see ALDI's response. It might have been helpful to photo that sign & package pricing. If this is a systemic ALDI issue, they'll be run out of business I assure you.

I know we have shopped at ALDIs elsewhere, and while some have described the brands as "off brands" incorrectly, much of what you might see there (labels) are from other countries and frankly sometimes better than we were used to. We we always constantly surprised with how little we paid. They are NOT a Dollar General with distressed merchandise, but an efficient and alternate product provider.
