I sometimes nip into Aldi if I finish work if I I’m on a 9 finish and need wine or whatever.
Often there is a cashier who has been quite chatty (male) just normal ‘have you just finished work and next time it was what do you do ? I get it, the store is quiet at that time so maybe he’s bored and is just trying to make friendly conversation.
Last week I went to the self serve bit and he was able to verify my alcohol purchase from his till.
He then proceeded to tell me he was able to see what I’d bought and started listing it, which I have to say made me feel uncomfortable.
Last night I whizzed in and bought a pizza, and went to the self serve bit, he appeared out of nowhere and said ‘Oh having an easy pizza dinner are we’
He’s putting me off going in.

You're allowed to ignore him. You don't need to be 'nice" to him. You could literally look through him as if he wasn't there, and that would be ok.

If it feels off, it's usually off.

Oh yes,how nice! let's all be like americans and treat people who work in shops like shite. Ffs nasty people.

I agree.
I would hate to work in Aldi if some of these people shop there.
