And when Germans say they will open on November 30th, they mean November 30th!

I don't know what the picture in the Telegraph was meant to be of but it was neither Alvis nor Central Six! :clown:

Who says Germans have no sense of humour?

Walked round it three times last night and still couldn't find the tea and coffee! :clown:

And I'm not the first person to be confused by Aldi's store layout. :roll:

Popped in to buy some Nescafé instant cappuccino as it was advertised on their website much cheaper than Morrisons.

Couldn't find any so came out with whatever this is supposed to be instead:

Despite what it says on the box it's neither frothy nor creamy and there are no chocolate sprinkles included as suggested by the picture. It also tasted very little like coffee. I eventually figured out it was the glucose syrup they put in it, even in the supposedly "unsweetened" version. I'm told it used to be good until they "improved" the recipe.

A Tesco offer before Christmas tempted me to change my brand of coffee. I've been plagued with migraines ever since! It's back to the old brand.

Aldi issued 'gender transition guides' to staff

Image

One of Britain’s largest supermarkets issued “gender transition guides” for staff.

Aldi published a series of internal guidelines in 2022 on how to support co-workers who are transitioning, as part of its ‘Embrace’ Diversity and Inclusion strategy, which aims to create a more inclusive workplace.

Richard Shuttleworth, Diversity and Inclusion Director at Aldi UK, said: “We want to ensure that Aldi is a diverse, inclusive and supportive place to work for everyone."

Shuttleworth added, after publishing the guides in 2022: "We believe colleagues should feel confident to bring their truest selves to work, and hope the launch of these guides will help anyone who has transitioned, is going through a transition or considering it, to feel safe and supported in doing just that."

The guides offer advice to managers on how to deal with transitioning staff and shares tips with co-workers on how to help their colleagues easily return into the work fold.

They were created with the input of workers. Kimberly Taylor, a store assistant, said: “I’ve worked at Aldi for over three years and during that time have started to transition. Throughout this experience my team have been so supportive of me, helping me to feel confident and accepted every step of the way."

She said that the guides show that Aldi is committed to the wellbeing of its transgender staff.
