My horrific experience at this store on 3/28/2024. I opened the cooler to get 2 gallons of milk. There were about 8 gallons left at the door but they were crushed and some leaking. I observed a new pallet and stepped in the cooler area and retrieved 2 gallons. As I turned to exit an employee appears and asked me if I worked there. I told him I was getting milk as the ones up front in the cooler were damaged. He said that it was an employee only area and in the same breath said he was going to have to tresspass me from the store. I thought he was kidding and he repeated that he had to tresspass me at which point he tried to grab the milk out of my hands, basically assaulting me. I stepped back and asked (what so I am not allowed to buy the milk) and he replyed NO I am going to have to tresspass you from the store. I pointed out that no where was it posted employee only but he continued to threaten me. I believe had he had handcuffs and leg shackles he would have used them. He said he was a manager and I was only able to get the name Brian. He said they had a meeting about no customers in that area and I understand that, but instead of just telling me, he went to the extreme of threatening to tresspass me from the store. This entire situation should have been handled in a more non-threatening manner by this employee. But instead, with his verbal threats of trespassing me immediately and basically assaulting me by trying to grab the milk out my hands, he made me feel as if I was a criminal. Also it seems lately the dairy products have been expiring before the due date. We purchased half N Half and it expired about 4 days early and ruined a full thermos of coffee. Another gallon of milk was not sour but had white thick slivers and chunks throughout as if the milk factory let their vat empty and dry then added milk that contaminated the batch with dried residue. Then on at least 3 other occasions recently the milk soured 1 to 2 days before the date. We shop there weekly and spend nearly $200.00 on average. I have been shopping at Aldi for probably 20 years. I was so distraught over my experience that it is not likely that I will ever step foot in another Aldi. He did not formally tresspass me but I will no longer be shopping there. All I can say is POST A SIGN (EMPLOYEE ONLY) if it is such an issue. Photos showing no where is it posted EMPLOYEE ONLY. read more
