I joke that the vibe at our Aldi's is the Utopian vision of how the UN should work. We've got all ages, genders, and races represented and everyone is polite and friendly, giving away their cart without taking back a quarter, giving away extra newspaper Aldi coupons, helping find stuff, etc. Last month, I was amazed that when I was there and the Christmas stuff all went to 25 cents and 50 cents (literally while I was in the shop), and it was all in one tight aisle, no one pushed, no one shoved, no one stole each other's stuff, no one fought for items, people helped grab items for others, and it was the most pleasant "free for all" I've ever been in...I also got the best stollen right from Germany and regret only getting 2 of them for 50 cents each...but my waistline is probably thankful!
