'I was Aldi manager until they sacked me for not scanning fast enough - here's everything we had to hide from you'
A former Aldi manager, who claims they were sacked by the retailer "for not scanning fast enough," has revealed "everything the store made employees hide from customers" in a tell-all TikTok video.
The woman, Alison, who goes by username @alisonhaveny on the social media platform, claims to have been a manager at Aldi for three years until her contract was terminated due to her lack of speedy scanning.
In response, the woman, who seems to have worked at a US-based Aldi store, is claiming to have listed everything the German budget chain made employees conceal from loyal shoppers.

"We have scan your items at checkout in 60 seconds or less or else we get written up and then eventually fired," Alison first alleged.
Going on to provide a grocery hack, she said: "If you don't have a quarter for the shopping carts at Aldi, you can just your key. It works the exact same."
Next was what to do if your favourite items get discontinued, to which Alison advised: "Tell an associate. If you request for a certain product, we have to reorder it for you."
For clumsy customers prone to spills and knocks, the creator warned: "If you break it - you buy it. If you accidentally knock over any of the glass jars and they explode, you're supposed to pay for it, but most people just run away."
Alison ended on a lighter note in a bid to help people get the most out their weekly shop. She added: "The best days to shop at Aldi are on Wednesday mornings. This is when we get new shipments and restock the shelves."
One user commented: "I'm not even American and I love this."
It comes after an ex-Aldi employee explained the reason why they have to scan shopping so quickly. And although it can be difficult for them to keep up, it turns out there's a very good reason why the employees do it so fast.
