I went until Aldis In **********, ** to do some grocery shopping there on Sunday. I was humiliated in front of so many customers and staff, I had a grocery cart full of groceries and I get up to the cashier to check and use my PEBT card and was told the system is down for student PEBT and they do not know how long it will be down. My thing is you knew this ahead of time and it was not a sign in the door to let oriole no this so you wait til they go check out to be humiliated in front of everyone. I suffer from anxiety and social anxiety and this really doing something to me, knowing the manager knew about this and didnt have the decency to inform customers before they start shopping. I will be in contact with a lawyer because this will not fly by at all.Business response

I was a customer at the *********, ** ********************** at the Frankford location. I was inquiring about different products and the associate gave me the price. We were both at how much the item cost. The manager ***** came over to my cart and remove the items and told me she was not selling the items to me. To my dismay, she instructed another associate to remove the items and place the items in the office. I am assuming she wanted to purchase the items, I was able to purchase other items with price verification, I traveled to another Aldi, the Parkville and Bel Air location and was able to purchase the items. At both locations I express my concerns to the managers at the Parkville and Bel Air location and was advised to file a complaint and to express my concerns on social media. This is just one of the 2 incidents that occur that day. I also had a return with my receipt. Ms. ***** did not want to do the return and DID NOT do it. In the future, when I traveled to that store I will be recording my experience so that others may know what to expectBusiness response

Hello, I have been experiencing some trouble in regard to a candle I purchased from Aldi, Inc. in ************, ******* on June 5, 2022. On June 6, 2022, the candle I bought exploded all over my living room damaging my wood floor, area rug, and cabinet that it was sitting on. I have corresponded with Aldi for over a month regarding this candle and compensation repayment. I was given the run around on multiple occasions in regard to receiving a "retrieval kit" within 10 days that came over a month ago causing me to have to retain the candle until they decided to send out said kit. I have been told to hang on to this candle for over a month and have many emails of correspondence with the company's manufacturer, Sebnini ******** **** After constant communication and still no reimbursements after sending pictures and videos of evident damage, I have been told I must replace all items and wait to receive reimbursements pending it is deemed necessary. Needless to say, this has been a stressful process and I have complied with all demands for them, yet I am being forced to pay for repairs for a candle that was faulty. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could assist me in rectifying this situation in a timely fashion. Thanks, ************************* *I also have a video of hard-on wax and glass still in my rug and 12 correspondence emails with the company's manufacturers.*Business response

I received an Aldis gift card as a present. When I went shopping on June 21 I was told that the gift card had zero dollars on it which is not true because my husband checked it and it said it was $100 on there. However since the cashier said it was zero I wouldve head and paid in cash $87.24, so I walked out to my car and my daughter called the gift card the number that is on the back and the gift card advised that it was $100 on there, I went back into the store and the first young lady I came into contact with advise that she had to call her manager which she did she called the manager over the walkie-talkie and said that there were issues with gift cards again. So when the manager came out she took the card back into the office and she called and advise that it was $100 on there as well. She took a copy of everything including my information and gave it to the store manager and promised me that this issue would be solved. That was not true because the issue was still going on today The store manager called me and left me a voicemail message and advised that he had also checked the gift card and called the number on the back and it advise it was $100 as well he said that it was a glitch which I still have the voicemail if I need to send it in and advise that it was above the store level. So I then spoke with someone from the corporate office after I had post a review on ******** under Aldis, and again no resolution. So about a half hour later a manager from their call-center calls me and advises that the gift card is used that someone had made a purchase on it and I let her know that every single person has called the gift card and it said theres $100 on there she advised that there was no phone number on the back of the card which thats kind of ridiculous because why would there not be a phone number on the back of the car to check it. This has been a horrible experience with them I just want the issue solved.Business response

I am rejecting this response because: when you call the phone and number that is on the back of the gift card it is still saying there is an active balance that is available of $100. When I spoke to someone from customer service I advised them the same thing the same as the young lady that was there in the store when it happened called and it advised there was a balance available as well as the store manager called and it advised that there was $100 available I also have pictures of the gift card that I can upload as well I would not be submitting a complaint over the hundred dollars unless it was there.

Complaint: 17547778
I am rejecting this response because: I went today to double check and see what the gift card has on it now all of a sudden the gift card is zero so all these weeks this gift card had $100 on it now all of a sudden the gift card is zero. The gift card was verified by the store manager the employee that was there as well as one of Audis employees from corporate now all of a sudden the gift card is at zero these are the games that I am not trying to play at all when it comes to purchasing a gift card, and that is why the issue was brought to the Better Business Bureau as a matter because of the way that this whole issue was handled, I also have the email from the general manager advising that there was $100 on the card and if it needs to be handled above the store level if I need to send that voicemail as well to I can definitely do that.

I am rejecting this response because:
I went to my email and I did see an email from one of the customer service representatives I verified my information with them however until I actually receive that gift card and know that it works considering there was a gift card that I had and it didnt work why would I trust another gift card from Aldi. Would or if I receive the gift card as they supposedly were trying to send to me I will let you know if I have it and if it does work.

https://www.aldi.us/en/about-aldi/return-policy/********************* Csy store ***** 7/6/22 employee ******* Although Aldi allows on their return policy website returns to be made with with their twice as nice policy without a receipt, their stores in brevard county are refusing any returns without a receipt. Their customer care rep *** also states on the phone that you need a receipt, though they are unable to point anywhere in their policy on their website that states a receipt is needed. "** Please note that a receipt is required to receive a refund in the original form of payment. Customers who do not provide a receipt will receive an ALDI Merchandise Credit gift card equal to the current retail price of the returned item."

Complaint: 17530787
I am rejecting this response because: Over the past 18 months, twice--at two different Aldi locations, I have been denied a twice as nice refund for not having a receipt. Although the return/refund policy on the Aldi website does not state that a receipt is needed, for the twice as nice guarantee to be honored, my refund was refused for not having a receipt. Please have Aldi clarify their return policy; further to their twice as nice refund and to state WHERE on the website--is the clause stating that a receipt is needed. I have not been able to find that clause on the website as a part of their policy. To not honor a refund policy which is in writing on the Company's website is misrepresentation or possibly fraud. Employees at both stores informed me that their district manager (same for both stores in brevard county *******) had advised them to not honor the policy. I need to know that the policy has been clarified and I will not have this same issue arise if I ever have another return.
