Anyone ever work at an aldi food store (us)?

i went for an interview yesterday for an aldi that is opening up by me. i have a few questions for people who have worked there:


1. i know you have to do everything (cashier, stock, clean-up, etc) but is it a super manual job? i don't mind working but i don't want to be sweating my a** off everyday or straining my back. we are supposed to be able to lift 45 lbs. how often do you really?


2. they say as a casual employee you must work UNDER an AVERAGE of 20 hrs a week (meaning some weeks i might work more but then they will cut my hours to make up). even with making the $1.25 more/hr. than i make now, at the end of the year it's still less b.c i work 27 hrs+/week now. is that really true...do they keep track of that like they say?


3. i had to admit to smoking marijuana occasionally b/c it would show up in the drug test (2 yrs) but will that really disqualify me?


4. advice?


i would appreciate real answers from people who really work(ed) there, not guesses, speculations, etc.


thanks!

The job at Aldi can be very physical depending on how busy the store is. You do have to do lifting, stacking, cleaning and other work and it can cause you to sweat everyday. The hours can greatly vary from week to week and they do keep track of everyone's hours. However, if other employees do not show you can get some extra hours in. As for the pot smoking, I have yet to hear of anyone being hired who failed the drug test. Hope this helped.
