I'm at my last stop of the day. After coming to Aldis on Monday night, I purchased $240.00 worth of Christmas gifts. One of the Christmas gifts was a wine advent calendar. Upon further examination, apparently that was the wrong gift to purchase (per the recipient). Even though the box has not been opened, and it is in pristine condition, they "cannot return alcoholic beverages." Let's clarify, I didn't order a martini and send it back. I bought a $70.00 wine advent calendar. This is the condition that I just took it in to be returned (see photos). And while Aldi may have their policies, customers do too. So far, Walmart is still your safest bet. Everybody's looking out for themselves, Aldi is very much included in that. So the $70.00 wine advent calendar that I purchased by mistake is now mine. Probably a good thing, because shopping at Aldi's does make one want to consume large quantities of alcoholic beverages. Keep up the great work Aldi! But, don't forget, you're not the only store in town. The stuff you're selling is only one step above the dollar store. I won't ever give you my business, again, and I'll NEVER refer anyone here. You made it clear that you don't need my business. Maybe I should think "Temecula" and not "Escondido." This city is trash, and so are the businesses. read more
