Hi thread, this is my first post here but I promise I'm not a Nazi. I hate Aldi, but have a really weird and personal reason for boycotting them: My sisters, long term partners, step-dad works in some top management position for Aldi (I think he acts as CEO on certain days?) and straight up bought a house for my sister, her partner and their children to live in when they were on the verge of being homeless. About a month ago my sisters partner starts accusing my sister of cheating (this is false, she's too busy keeping the house clean and keeping him, her children and the dog fed and happy to have any social life) and whinges to his mum on the phone about it instead of talking to my sister (which he wont do because he's only been communicating through texts for weeks even though they're often in the same room and sleep in the same bed). The next thing my sister knows is she's getting solicitors letters from her partners, step-dad lawyers telling her she has a month to get out of her home (the step-dad owns it), and his mum has flown over (she lives in loving Florida) to supervise the removal of all my sisters and her childrens belongings. My sister does this but has to endure being harassed while doing it with the most vilest shite possible from her partners mum. My sister is now staying with mum and my nieces are coping much better than I thought they would given that one of them is autistic (they love their gran) apart from the fact they're both convinced daddy hates them. He hasn't even spoken to them on the phone since this happened. The dog isn't too great either, he's old and can't cope with the stairs up to my mums flat. So yeah, I don't want to contribute this shitebags wages. Sorry everyone else at Aldi who wouldn't force a mum and her children onto the street. Sorry if none of that is understandable, it's quite late and I don't have the spoons for proper punctuation or grammar :/

I thought I'd gone straight to bed after a particularly exhausting day  Anyway, I'd also recommend Waitrose. I started using them after reading about their policies and I didn't find them that much more expensive than Tesco. They'll also hand you your shopping bag by bag if you get it delivered. As someone with limited mobility and energy, that is the single greatest selling point I can give them. Tesco would just dump your shop in front of the door and tell you to hurry up, and I was told that Asda don't do stairs by their customer service after I ordered a full shop. The driver ran away without even seeing me and dumped it about twenty feet from the close. Booga fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Feb 29, 2016 |

kapparomeo posted:For a socialist, you are remarkably susceptible to targeted marketing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dOscmanykE They come across as incredibly disingenuous in all their marketing. Mass advertising campaigns to the indie/punk crowd while also claiming to be indie punks and then bragging about how successful they've been? I've seen their beer being sold in the extremely well known anti-establishment super market chain known as Tesco (ironically it was punk IPA). They're either incredibly smart or completely clueless. They're also quick to mock the homeless and sex workers in that video while also being quite misogynistic/transphobic. Oh no, you've decided to wear female clothing and get paid to have sex, how humiliating for you as big beardy men. Abusing the homeless is hilarious as well! Also this doesn't even make loving sense. Transgender (and then postgender) beer? How the gently caress did they decide that this was a good idea? Edit: They did give free treats to my dog on her final visit back hom in their pub, and they do good pie and gravy. Good on them for that at least.

If you get tired from a hard day of smashing the system, come on down to Brewdogs and cool down with our fruity Punk IPA. We've got beers for the whole family, even the gays get their own separate beer.
