I work at Aldi and our ‘research’ is pretty unconventional – I’ve been munching on sweet treats in Paris this week
ALDI workers have shared an insight into their typical day at work – and it’s left people begging for a job.
Members of the brand’s social media team recently revealed that their “research” consists of “consuming an outrageous amount of sweet treats.”
It comes as the budget supermarket enters its ninth year as a “proud sponsor of Team GB”.
Aldi flew a few of its social media workers out to France to cheer on British athletes competing in the Paris Olympics 2024.
And of course, to do some work.
Three days ago, they shared on TikTok that the team had “officially landed in Paris to cheer on the incredible Team GB”.
An average day of work for these Aldi employees included taking pictures of croissants, relaxing in Aldi’s Olympic lounge and drinking iced coffee.
The employees joked that, even surrounded by the amazing pastries that Paris has to offer, they still reached for Aldi’s Specially Selected range.
They also got a tour of the Team GB House, an exclusive club for athletes, their loved ones and eligible workers to celebrate, or relax, while the Olympic Games take place.
After gorging on Aldi pastries and snapping some pictures, the social media team finished the day at one of the stadiums watching a swimming event.
After seeing Aldi’s social media team’s Paris itinerary, social media users were begging for a job.
“Please hire me,” one pleaded.
“Any jobs going?” another asked.
Back in March, it was revealed that Aldi has extended its sponsorship of Team GB for another eight years.
The budget supermarket will work alongside our incredible athletes up to the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane.
This means that some Team GB athletes will continue to receive monthly food shopping vouchers for the supermarket.
Among the lucky chosen ones gymnast Max Whitlock, weightlifter Emily Campbell, boxer Delicious Orie and swimmer Duncan Scott.
The partnership first started in 2015.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
