duties still include manning tills, stocking shelves and cleaning
floors.


That's correct. Everyone does everything.


Which is how it should be. Everywhere. Not just Aldi.


When I was running the department's admissions (for 15 years) I employed
student helpers. They had to welcome, guide, inform, take to lunch, tour,
provide security, etc. I always trained all of them in everything, to get
maximum flexibility.

I usually had to have one student 'guard' the guests' coffee and biscuits
for 10 minutes while there was a lecture changeover, or we got a *lot* of
pilfering! For a couple of years, one particular student was particularly
good at this - no one ever tried anything on. His evening job was at the
university nightclub - as a bouncer.
