Banned from Aldi website

Hi I just tried to go to Aldi website after leaving my local store and found I'm blocked from using their website. I have no idea why.
It's on the way to the school so I pop in most days. Just spent almost £40 there. Has anyone heard of this before and what can I do

I've never managed to use the Aldi website.

I suspect there is so much traffic, the website is extremely slow.

GallicosCats · 28/11/2018 16:25

I doubt you've been actively blocked - it's probably slow, badly designed and keeps crashing. You get what you pay for to some extent with IT investment.

Have you been overheard calling the centre ailse 'the ailse of shite'. Were you packing slowly at the till rather than using the packing shelf? Did you say loudly "this Seal bar is just a knock off Penguin and the Jive bar is a knock off twix?"

You've been putting your divider on the belt the MN way haven't you....

ToftheB · 28/11/2018 16:34

Did you announce your IP address loudly in store before starting a brawl over the last Kevin the carrot?

(Are you using a work system that may have blocked retail sites? Failing that, I suspect it’s a temporary glitch)

OddBoots · 28/11/2018 16:38

Did you pack your bags at the till?

Squeegle · 28/11/2018 16:39

How could you be blocked? Seems a bit odd?

Redcrayons · 28/11/2018 16:40

What error message are you getting? Seems very unlikely that you’d be banned - how would they know it’s you?

Elderflower14 · 28/11/2018 16:53

Have you got Twitter? Tweet them and ask them.?

Lweji · 28/11/2018 17:02

Or for some reason your browser (you) has blocked the Aldi site?

Waspnest · 28/11/2018 17:07

Do you keep buying from the centre aisle and your DP has sneakily blocked it from your devices (my DH would do this if I used the website - he would have me banned from the stores if he could)?

Try the app instead

GaryBaldbiscuit · 28/11/2018 17:10

delete your cookies?

VerbeenaBeeks · 28/11/2018 17:56

Why would you be banned? Confused Sounds more like a website malfunction to me! Possibly down or something.

I did that in Aldi a while back just to see what would happen Blush
Boring moo in front of me in the queue just put it straight back the right way Grin
obviously not a MNer

I do it as well. The husband visibly bristles when I pick it up Grin

I do this and wait to see how long it'll be before the person in front turns it back the usual way. My OH then puts the one behind our shopping the MN way too. It's usually slammed back. Grin

SeekingClosure · 28/11/2018 18:08

Did you place your trolley at right angles to the till end rather than parallel?

babysharkah · 28/11/2018 18:09

What do you mean by banned what did the website say?

thewinehasgonetomyhead · 28/11/2018 18:10

What’s the MN way for placing the divider please?! misses point

stressedmum15 · 28/11/2018 18:13

bobstersmum · 28/11/2018 18:13

This thread has made me giggle I'm dying to find out how they got your ip address

The opposite way you do it now.

VerbeenaBeeks · 28/11/2018 18:33

MN way of placing divider this way round on the belt

so it lies like this -----

Redcrayons · 28/11/2018 21:04

Im a bit of an anarchist, I don't put the divider on at all.
Now I know there's an even more annoying divider etiquette, I'm on it. Can't wait till next shop. To clarify you place it length ways on the thingy?
