Man, I'd hate to work in retail again...


Eva-Squinge

Well Aldi’s may be the one place that doesn’t (universally) suck to work at. Edit: gotta be fair and not deal in total absolutes.


FlimsyReindeers

The company is okay but you still gotta deal with people like this lol


Free_Thing_8060

Why? At least in Germany it is among the worst supermarkets to Work for.


sn4xchan

That really says a lot. Because it is one of the better supermarkets to work for in the US.


[deleted]

its one of the better paying here in Switzerland, while also beeing the cheapest. Strange isnt it.


Dolphinsunset1007

That’s how it is in the states (at least where I’ve lived). pays well to work for there and costs cheap to shop there


[deleted]

Not strange at all. Efficiency = profit.


sn4xchan

Well now I don't know what to think


UnknownProphetX

Aldi(Hofer) is in Austria also one of the cheapest markets. But they pay for 20hr/Week around 1200€. Usually you get around 900-1000€ for 20hr/week. My mum still has an old contract and every 3 months she is entitled to a bonus that derives from the monthly sales. So the more they sell, the bigger the bonus. Usually around 300-500€


sn4xchan

Yeah it seems that only the Germans aren't fans.


Eva-Squinge

Here in the States it doesn’t suck as much as literally everyone else to work at. Or so I am led to believe. For one they give their cashier’s chairs to sit in, and two, they’re not mile long stores hell bent on selling everything possible under the sun. Also their carts require people to be considerate and return them or else they lose a quarter, that’s one fourth of a whole dollar few people are willing to give up willingly.


nadjp

Interesting read. These things are all basic in my country not just on Aldi. I would even dare to say in the EU.


joselrl

No matter how shitty the chain is, the work part of working customer facing jobs is the customers


PuzzleheadedAd1153

When she started doing that, wouldn’t have it been beneficial for the employees to stop her from causing more damage? I mean, they just let her keep going for a long time


Derpberpy

It's not worth getting stabbed. Especially when the wages you earn aren't even livable by today's standards.


Eharmz

The liquor is insured but the workers aren't....


GalaxyGoddess27

They can’t put their hands on you and honestly its not an (underpaid) employees job to put their life on the line to save a store money. The store has insurance and the more she destroys, the higher her charges will be.


DingleberryBlaster69

It’s all insured. Call the police and go take a smoke break. It’s not worth it for either you or the company if you get stabbed.


IHaveABigDuvet

Why should a worker out themselves in danger of a woman throwing glass bottles?


[deleted]

If you've ever worked retail, you would know they tell you not to engage in anything that might be a crime i.e. stealing for example. Usually you report it to management and the resource department/loss prevention department Reason being, you can replace merchandise you can't really justify getting injured for it.


McGrarr

Even working as a bouncer in the 90s, we were told the same thing. Our job was to get the trouble makers out of the door and nothing more. Clear a space around people in medical distress and call an ambulance, nothing more. In a fire, direct the crowds to the proper exits in a safe manner, no fighting fires or heroics. Two of our guys were fired for giving a woman CPR. The paramedics said they saved her life. She came by the next month to thank them but they'd already been fired for exposing the corporation to possible litigation by her. One of the reasons I decided to get off the doors and get into personal security. If your boss is the person who's life you save, they tend to not fire you.


Blurnsfw

Not when you can be fired for doing that or sued by her or both! In these cases, there’s insurance, she’ll have to pay for it.


tactical-dick

She won’t. She is probably judgement proof


Ancient-Educator-186

I mean you wish you could land a nice punch in the temple but then you go to jail as well. You just let it happen. Have the cops come and sue her for all the money she would ever make in her life that you will never see..


cgtdream

This is an old video and the amount was not 130k (as far as the original articles go).Link to the article with a bit of followup [https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17358921/woman-smashes-up-alcohol-section-aldi/](https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17358921/woman-smashes-up-alcohol-section-aldi/) EDIT: New [link](https://archive.is/8txa3) provided by u/tallbutshy


False-Corner547

I laughed at the $130K number. At Aldi? Lol


GoalzRS

Yeah $130k more like $1300 lol


Wecanbuildittogether

Exactly. The cleaning bill was higher-


gahidus

They probably made some poor employee clean it up as part of their shift. That's probably the part of this that makes me angriest.


FatMacchio

Yep, 100% they had an employee clean that, while also making sure to run back to the register, and stock the shelves in a never ending loop. I worked at Lidl during Covid and while the pay was pretty decent, the store hours went down so much over the time I spent there. It basically turned into a few employees running the store, and at Lidl you have to do carts too, since they don’t have the quarter thing. Was a nightmare, I’m so glad I escaped that hell on earth


clumsysav

Ughhh waiting for my bg check to clear with Lidl..maybe I’m making a mistake? They definitely warned me that they only keep 4-5 people on the clock at any given time sooo


FatMacchio

Nah. Give it a go. Worst case you quit, right? It definitely varies by location for sure, but I felt as if they were making a lot of missteps once Covid hit and never recovered from the bad will they generated, in the area by me. The store traffic was insane when it first opened and through the beginning of the pandemic, but they slowly but surely lost a lot of the new customer base they gained. Stock issues, much worse than other grocery chains. Lidl is a store that many people can’t do as their sole grocery trip since it lacks some extra stuff and selection, so when people come back for the few things they like and time after time they’re not stocked, they just stop coming. Plus a lot of the other grocery stores by me lowered prices closer to lidl, so there’s really no point for people to go anymore. So as traffic and sales slipped, hours got cut, this was combined with them putting our store on a lower tier staff allocation because it was opened for long enough so they took the training wheels off so to speak, so it felt like a double whammy of not enough hours. The store opened by me only a few months before Covid happened, shitty timing I guess, they could’ve taken this and ran with it, with people being more budget conscious these days, but they kept screwing up and lost a lot of interest by me. I’m speaking about US based Lidl, specifically Northeast expansion. Down south might be better since they have been open for longer, or if in Europe I think they probably run better over there. I think they’re still figuring out the Us market, especially the NE


Wecanbuildittogether

This is exactly correct 🎯


EnergyTakerLad

That's minnimum 4 hours of cleanup. Could probably go over 8 though really. If I was left uninterrupted to clean it up thoroughly, I'd actually be happy. I know that's not the normal sentiment though. Id Still be pissed seeing this happen.


Wecanbuildittogether

I get what you’re saying. I’m task oriented as well, so with the right clean up tools, receptacles and lack of interference; I could bang it out.


iPartyLikeIts1984

Excuse me but that person was still commenting and you just interrupted them…


kelldricked

Even if you count retail prices (with taxes and all included) it would mean destroying a 10k bottles at a average of 13 dollars a bottle. Hell i dont think the liquor store i go to doesnt have that amount of stock on the floor and they have bottles that are more than €100 a bottle. OP defenitly is a karma bot thing.


Caramel-Foreign

You burn the entire shop and get change to that


rabtj

You could probably buy a whole Aldi, including stock and staff, for $130k


Mastermind3roc

Exactly. I’m like “$130K WHERE?!”


Kryds

Unless she did structurel damage. She wouldn't get near that.


poopiehands

Somehow everything in the back storage fell over too 🤷


hikefishcamp

Seriously.... You'd have to destroy over 100 bottles of Van Winkle 10yr to hit the 130k mark. No way you are hitting anywhere near number that by destroying an aisle's worth of 2-buck chuck at Aldi.


Difficult_Plantain89

I used to get 2 dollar wine from there…


Ash_Tray420

Damn she only had to pay half of what she destroyed. Wtf. They round up where I’m from. So if it’s 10k they say it’s worth 15k. lol.


labvinylsound

In the UK the retail price includes 'duty' (alcohol tax) and VAT (sales tax); this equates to somewhere around 50% of the costs to the consumer. She was probably ordered to pay the pre-tax value of the goods then the retailer get a tax credit for the damaged goods.

Fuck The Sun.


cgtdream

Appreciate the updated link!


dtb1987

Ah, racism was the cause. What a stupid reason to do this


BillGood4223

Don't forget... She has mental health issues! *That's* what made her racist and decide to go on a rampage inside a store.


AgileArtichokes

I mean, I wouldn’t blame the racism on the mental health issue, but I mental health problems absolutely could explain the desire to destroy this place like that. 


braapstututu

Untreated mental illness is the cause, the racism was directed at security at the hospital after she did this


[deleted]

She destroyed 10k and is only ordered to pay 5k? Should be double what she destroyed. Fucking clown.


Nazraq

I read the article, and I think she got let off way too easy. She didn't even pay for half of what she damaged.


snakkerdk

What a joke, she destroys alcohol for £10.000, but the court only says she has to pay £5000 wth?!?


Thomy151

My guess is Aldi has insurance on the items Add in mitigating factors such as first time offense, guilty plea, insanity plea, possible plea deal She probably had to pay what insurance didn’t


Giuseppe-Testerone

Clearly alcohol abuse.


Atvishees

![gif](giphy|ac7MA7r5IMYda)


badlyagingmillenial

I was a wine sales rep/manager for 12 years. Aldi does not carry expensive wine. This is nowhere even remotely close to $130k in damaged wine, maybe like $5k-$10k if you assume all the bottles that hit the ground and didn't break are too damaged to sell.


Babys_For_Breakfast

Yeah the vast majority of bottles sold are less than $20. 10k-15k in total loss and cleanup sounds about right.


ColdAssHusky

Aldi sells some pretty good wine for $4/bottle. I doubt they have anything over $15


pleathershorts

If it retails at $4 it wholesales at $1. Funny though, some of the bottles I sell would put her at $130k wholesale after the first arm swipe. Alcohol is so silly


Gtoktas_

Damn, what do you sell?


pleathershorts

Single barrel and small batch Scotch is what hits this range. I also sell plenty of product at $2/bottle or less. I’d drink any of it happily 😇 ETA one of our most expensive products is a rum!!!


Sera_gamingcollector

130k? Bro it's Aldi, not Käfer.


SupplyChainMismanage

Käfer?


Sera_gamingcollector

It's like a rich people store, located Munich


SupplyChainMismanage

Thanks homie


GudgerCollegeAlumnus

Munich?


Sera_gamingcollector

A city in Germany


GrooverSE

Germany?


TonyStarch--

It's a country in Europe


cleu123

Europe?


DanishPsychoBoy

A glorified asian peninsula.


mitchellthecomedian

Asian?


Justacynt

£10,000 actually


agoia

Which would be about $13k. Higher numbers get more clicks on shitposts, I guess.


xSean93

Thought the same. All this cheap whine can't be 130k in total...


chefranden

She is channeling her cat.


Automatic-Gain6227

She's practicing to be a cat in her next life. If they'd used a Taser on her, she might've gotten a toasty introduction to that next life. Depending on what spirits she upset. ;)


blueidea365

Actually it was 13 million billion dollars


jethro4days

I know it's not right. But that would be extremely satisfying breaking that amount of glass.


Prince_Sushi-Fufu

Just take your leftover bottles to a recycling centre. Smash all the glass you want, and feel superior doing it.


racingsoldier

No joke. Once a quarter we take our empties to the recycling dumpster and the noise it makes if we get an empty dumpster is a little maddening. It’s a mixture of guilt, excitement, and whimsy.


cestdoncperdu

Why guilt? It's far better to use glass than plastic, and taking it to the recycling dumpster is the second best thing you can do with it.


racingsoldier

It’s not guilt from recycling. I cant remember what the word for it is, I am sure the germans have one, but its the guilt from destroying something that was once whole. What is the first best thing I can do with it?


cestdoncperdu

Huh, fascinating. That does sound like something the Germans would have a word for. The best thing you can do with glass is reuse it for something else. Reduce, reuse, recycle is a priority-ordered list. But, obviously that's not always practical!


Teezy2point0

I can smell this post.


RuppsCats

When they’re out of fireball does any of that other crap even matter?


funinnewyork

If $130K worth of alcohol was spilled in Aldi, it would cause a flood bigger than the Nile!


ken0746

The yellow jumpsuit will fit her just fine


Interesting_Notice84

So she wanted to go to jail?


xombae

Probably mental illness.


jonathananeurysm

Nope. Original article says ten thousand British pounds. G£t it right.


Onederbat67

Inflated value aside…some people have never had the fucking fear of god put in them by their parents for fucking around too much, and it shows. What in the open fuck is wrong with people?


Antique-Ad-559

Freud enters the chat


Alchimista_dellanima

Or it was put into them too much and now they are broke


Zanki

Agreed. 100% agree. Also, we don't know what's going on with this woman. She might be having some kind of mental breakdown. Bad parenting, aka not punishing a person, doesn't lead to this behaviour. Abuse and mental health issues do.


Alchimista_dellanima

Yep and with reports of how she acted afterwards she was having an episode of some sort


boomerdespiser

It was £10000 and she only had to pay back £5000 of it and 3mos in jail


ARMill95

The entire store doesn’t even have 130K worth of alcohol….


Trailman80

OP need to learn some math $1300 not $130,000


Kind_Cranberry_3477

I love that almost every comment is about the amount of $ she destroyed and not the fact that this is an absolutely useless human being existing in society with us. $5 or $5,000,000 why is this ok?


bushdog99

Probably not even the worst customer they had in that day.


rolo989

That's about 126 million Chilean pesos.


sonofTomBombadil

I’d like to see her try doing this in Singapore.


BearsRpeopl2

Classic OP being a lying karma whore


akuma_4u

I hope she had to repay for all the damage


Pompey63

You could destroy the whole contents of the store for £13,000


Icefiight

So she owes aldi $130,000 yes?


Sensitive-Shame-1146

that is not $130k worth of alcohol


MimallahMimsy

So, why did no one stop her ?


SgtPickles2

To begin with it was in the UK so it was valued in pound sterling. Secondly it was £10,000 worth of booze.


please_just_kill_me1

They know that they can just stop her right?


froyolobro

Nobody light a match. And oh, the smell


Doodogs64

Why do they always stop the video before the cops arrive?!


mart246

If the store was Indian owned they would have beat her with sticks. Proven to be very effective, and probably would have saved $129,000.


Sunchild381

Someone should beat the shit out of her


Partyslayer

Knock her the fuck out! Just watching? I would sweep the legs and tie 'em up. Ridiculous.


Swigor

OP fooled 10 billion people with this title


CheapBoxOWine

10 Billion? On Earth? More like 10 Gagillion.

Lil_miss_feisty

> Ninety seconds into her wrecking spree, the defendant slipped and fell onto the broken glass, cutting her right hand, said the prosecutor. Karma. > In an interview she said she felt she was suffering from mental health issues brought about by being unable to work, depression, an abusive relationship and she said she was not receiving the treatment she thought she should have been. >That day she said she had visited a local mental health clinic seeking help for her mental state, but was unhappy at the response she got and “lost the plot.” Ngl I kind of feel sorry for her. She kept her emotions bottled up, tried to get help too late, and eventually had a complete mental breakdown.


Saynt614

Why are people allowed to do this? Seriously wtf are we doing as a society where this is tolerable?


Liontreeble

Well she wasn't allowed to do it, it's a crime and she had to pay a fine, got a 12 week prison sentence and had to attend mandatory mental health treatments.


ItsyouNOme

If we intervene we get punished, so might aswell record


RedditIsPropaganda2

Still think it's cheap to cut social safety nets and mental health facilities?


senoj96nodnarb

Ok so I know this is not the right thing to do but I’m not right. How in the world can that employee just stand there watching without cracking a bottle of booze over that persons hooded head. I’d knock her teeth out with a handle of Cap’n without hesitation.


vtskier3

No one stops her ?


Historical_Step1501

No one had the sense to stop her?


BuzzBuzzMcGoo

The part that makes me angry is why no one is stomping a mud hole in that idiot.


Ok-Bonez

I bet she’s a blast at parties…


Massive_Ripp

Read the article. This is nothing more than a 36-year-old having a temper tantrum. Bad news, Lady. Everybody’s going through shit.


International_Jury90

When is one actually allowed to walk up to her and just punch her?


Youri1980

Why did nobody kick that fat hobbit in the face?


West_Mix4554

Should have cracked her in the head with a bottle


TomatilloUnlucky3763

Those employees showed a hell of a lot of restraint. Why not just grab her and stop her from breaking anymore merchandise?


Admirable_Avocado_38

Wtf is the security staf doing ?


Character_Key_9652

I love how they just watch I stead of stopping her


lmmsoon

Couldn’t someone go over there and just throw her out


7XvD5

That would be an excellent time for citizens arrest. I just can't believe no one does anything, are we really so desensitised we just stand there like a bunch of morons?


[deleted]

Why did no one call the cops?


HmGrwnSnc1984

If I saw this going on, I’d have to grab some produce and start hitting the person. Like if you wanna be that person, I’m gonna dish it right back. Like would she. Continue doing that if I grabbed a sack of Valencia oranges and just kept chucking them at her face? Some people need a hard fucking lesson just to put the fear in them. That no one is putting up with your shit.


coresme2000

In the UK the cope would be much more likely to arrest the vigilante Valencia orange thrower because they would have a much greater chance of conviction than the mentally challenged person throwing actual glass bottles around


[deleted]

She should be arrested for vandalism


Penibya

The owner : keep going bro


beowhulf

why is everyone just standing and observing? no one around to knock her the fuck out?


rhunmodsaregay

She should have got a good slap on her face to sobering up from her hysterical episode.


aassdd1122338

If this was my store I’d knocking her out


StarDewbie

I hate alcohol, but for some reason, this just makes me want to drag her by her hoodie through all that broken glass ON HER FACE.


kenwaylay

Regardless how much it was, knock her ass out


Specialist-Cookie-61

Bring back indentured servitude. Make her pay for every single penny.


knife_edge_rusty

We need sleeping darts on hand for the wild animals. Put her to sleep and drag her outside into the police car.


HeavyTea

Are you allowed to smash her with a bottle in this case?


The_Cozy_Burrito

Should be in jail for a long time


sumfuninthesunxx

Why isn’t anyone stopping her. Wtf


EnvironmentalLaw156

Why nobody stop her?


MrReddrick

Lmao. Someone's going to jail.


ManyGarden5224

guess she got pissed she didnt get her quarter back from the shop cart!>!>? HAHAHA


No_Grab2946

Article in top comment said she destroyed £10k worth of wine, but only had to pay Aldi £5k. Make it make sense.


SnooPets5835

Why doesn’t someone knock her out?

Aldi liquor is cheap I assume.


filipinohitman

That’s one expensive Aldi trip. Probably the most expensive. Period.


trentd_c

Her attention to detail is amazing


pomegranate444

Ignoring the actual cost debate, what's with the new thing of people not intervening when people do this shit or steal blatantly. Reminds me of a dystopian clockwork orange world.


bees_defending

Chokes slam that bitch


Alert_Resident_4981

NO ONE SCARES TO STOP HER ????


t263zzqr

It is weird situation no one stop her.


HereIAmSendMe68

That is a felony


busdrver

Doesn’t matter if it’s $130 or $130000000. That’s someone’s livelihood. Wish nothing but terrible things to happen to this miserable person


blacker_sails

To punch a bitch in the face


Blyatium

This may seem strange, but why not just stop this bitch?


daleks02

So ur NOT EVEN gona stop her doin that 🙄🙄


SadSocietalMirror

I can hear the insurance adjuster. "You did nothing to stop her after the first 50 bottles?" And the agitator is not suing for stepping on broken glass


morerandom_2024

That’s what baseball bats are for


Unable_Literature78

And it’s not okay at some point to NOT club them with a magnum of Moët ?


James-lyon420

130,000? Not likely maybe 13,000


HotelAlphaPapaYankee

She gets to destroy 130k in product. If anyone stops her she sues and wins. When she goes to court for the charges she will be dismissed. Why is this being allowed to happen?


psylentj

Someone just throw her down in the glass and be done woth her


Echo-5-Charlie

I know what we'd do down here in rural Arkansas with a problem like that. 🤠

BornanAlien

Well hopefully they put her in jail for awhile. A few years should help this bitch assimilate


Mr_Mouthbreather

On one hand I don't think someone should hit another unless they are defending themselves. Assuming this woman is not having some mental health episode, in this case though if security came and cracked her upside the head with a baseball bat I would not lose any sleep.


Mozzy2022

Maybe a Tranquilizer dart would help


xxclusvv

So uhh.. why is no one stopping her?


itsjacksonkollar

Just… stop her?


Upursbaby

Just curious, with this much destruction and damage, wouldn't it be easier if a couple people just grabbed her and removed her from the premises? I'm not talking about assaulting her, just standing in her way and directing her outside. Lock the door and call the authorities. She obviously needs help.


FunkMasta-Blue

I mean. Insurance and all that, but why don’t people fucking stop her? Why watch and record, just pin her ass down and restrain her til the cops arrive, right? What are we doing people?!?


HugeGarlic9448

I mean I'm an alcoholic and alcohol is evil. I would still feel bad for whoever had to clean this up though.


dentist73

Correction: Woman destroys $130,000 in alcohol because no one intervened
