This has been a topic to cause me to come to blows with Aldi managers
on several occasions.

I can understand putting mobile phones in the office, but not desktop
PC's and such.

You go to the shop and think they have sold out. I now always ask
before leaving.

This had struck my mind as to whether the manager was doing a deal with a
trader and at the same time getting a backhander from the trader?

Because its happened on three other occassions whereby I've wanted
something and was told "sold out" heh! the doors have only just opened.

Somones telling porkies.

The site has been updated now, but the ad clearly stated the pressure
washer was "new and improved".
I've just been to my local aldi to ask the manager why these were not on
offer yesterday in her store,she replied..."its old stock,we sold out when
they were first on offer".
My reply was..."but I've just purchased one at another branch" but she
still said it was old stock so therefore Aldis site is/was falsely
advertising it as "new and improved".

I was under the impression whatever Aldi sold on a thursday thats what
would be in store on that day?

As far as I know, that's the case. I have had the "Sunday Special
Buys" newsletter just now, there's some stuff that looks OK there.
Shame about the revised page format...
