One hot issue on the thread is online "curbside pickup" orders, which staff have to bag up ready for shoppers to collect in their cars.

A post by one Redditor shows a phone screen detailing a shopper's grocery order.

The photo is captioned: "What a great start to the morning. It was 126 units and the first order of the day."

One user replied: "There should be a limit for curbside. No more then 60 units. Lazy f***s."

Another said: "I had a 200 item order the other day, it made me die a little inside."

A similar post captioned "good f***ing morning" showed an order for 129 grocery items.

One reply said: "And THAT'S the s*** that p**es me off. Lazy ass people.

"Even worse when don't show up till 3pm to pick it up & you're having to cram everyone else's crap in around their 20 bags. I hate curbside."

However not everyone agreed pickup orders are a chore.

One worker said: "Am I the only one who likes doing curbside?

"It keeps me off the register or stocking, plus its like playing customer simulator and ends with a race to put all the items in the person’s car.

"Not to mention all of our curbside people are old and always tip me, which our store says we can take as long as they insisted we did."

Last month some Aldi workers claimed they love watching boring training videos, because it's better than dealing with customers.

An an alarming number of employees have seen shoppers defecating in the aisles.
