To be annoyed at Aldi cashier?

I have a bad habit of starting/reading a recipe and then realizing I don't have an ingredient, so I run to Aldi and get it, super quick and convenient.

I was there on Dec 29th and the cashier asked if I thought I'd be back before 2026, and said "Let's try not to".

I'm paying for the service right? I'm usually there once a week or so.

Are you actually the same poster who thought the pizza lady was being rude asking her how many pizzas she wanted?

I really hope so

Are you trying to make me believe you did not call the police there and then?

Nope. Read it three times. Still don’t know what it’s about.

Do you honestly think Aldi staff are monitoring your shopping habits and judging you for going in once a week or more?

If checkout staff do that, I’m doomed- I shop daily!

The cashier was making a JOKE

Omg I think it could be!
They sound very similar - although this one hasn’t mentioned ‘mum rage’ lol

Omg, I was in aldi last week and the cashier asked if I had much to do, when I told her she said "no rest for the wicked", couldn't believe the brazen cheek of her calling me wicked. I complained to the manager and she was sacked on the spot.

It's the only way to deal with these bloody cashiers and their small talk to be friendly towards customers 😡
