AOG

I question your reason to take a thread and make it about you.

There are some interesting points being made, and I feel that you are somewhat derailing that...why not engage in the conversation instead?

Dr.F, of course they have stuff in the stockroom, but enough to re-stock the shelves until they next order - not enough to accommodate their regular customers and a bloke who comes in and buys everything on the shelf.

Look at it this way. I imagine when you go shopping you buy what you need for the week, but if suddenly a houseful of guests descended upon you what you'd bought to last a week wouldn't be enough. That's exactly how shops work. They buy what they think they need.

you have never seen me shop :-)

[naomi24]

A day? A month? A meal? Whichever it is, you buy what you think you need - and shops only order in what they think they need.

[DrFilth]

naomi that is just it i do not buy what i need i always end up coming back with some wrong items

which i am not going to list on here

[naomi24]

Is that relevant?

[DrFilth]

never mind

[boxtops]

Nothing to do with the OP, DrF, but I think you might need to take a shopping list, to stop coming home with wrong stuff... :-)


Our local Aldi seems to manage stock control well, they know what the masses buy each week - it's only the twice-weekly special offers which are gone before most before have even got to the store. We know we have to get there as the doors open, if we want a special.

He is probably a genuine kind hearted person. For all we know he might be delivering the goods to a dept for shipment out to Syria. Furthermore , I have never seen a sign in Aldis restricting the number of tins of baked beans etc. that a customer can buy.Aldi should have been ready to double the amount of goods he was buying and given them to the charity as a gesture of goodwill.

Mr Bawlar was heard to say to the store manager "you cannot be Syria's".

[andres]

If you click on the news item and read the comments below you will see that apparently some of the local children in Blackburn had donated money to help buy the goods !!! Good for them .
