The worst thing for me at Aldi is the appearance of the produce section, it looks really terrible. In the last couple of years Aldi seems to lose market share in Germany. Edeka or Rewe stores are soooo much nicer now.
Yes. Aldi is useless for produce. In Germany you go to specialized stores for Obst u. Gemüse (as well as for meat and bakery).
Aldi is only good for basic stuff. For fresh stuff you go somewhere else (and Germany is great at simple, specialized stores, so no reason to go to Aldi, IMO, unless you want cheap packaged goods).
I thought ALDI was great for berries. Punnet of fresh blueberries for 1 Euro when I was last there last October. Was just at Whole Foods in Minneapolis and it's $4.99 for the same amount.

Just in this moment I eat a nice apple from Aldi I don't think that Aldi is useless for produce, just the presentation of the produce is awful at Aldi. Lidl has a much nicer produce section. Especially in produce the price differences between the conventional supermarkets and the discounters are huge. I'm often shocked about the price differences.
Produce in my local Edeka store:
Produce in a typical Aldi store:
Bakeries are still very popular, but they are struggling with the competition from Lidl's bakery section. The number of butcher's is plunging. The market share of butcher's was 12.6% in 2010. The nice service counters in supermarkets are very popular. But 47.5% of the meat and sausages were sold in discount stores.
We mostly buy our meat and cold cuts at Aldi or Lidl. And at Edeka when it's on sale.
Farmers' markets are very popular among elderly people. People with an immigration background prefer often Turkish green-grocer's. But the vast majority of the produce is sold at supermarkets.
That Germans buy so much food at specialized stores, I think that's a thing of the past. It's probably more common in southern Germany. Overall the development is a little bit sad. But that's our own fault. We for example don't shop at those specialized stores, with the exception of bakeries.

According to haul videos at Aldi (US) on YT, Aldi seems very popular for produce. The price differences to conventional supermarkets are huge. Whereas the prices for meat are not always great. Meat on sale seems often cheaper at conventional supermarkets. It's pretty similar in Germany.
No you can't, at least not in Bremen, they only accepted EC-Karte. That was 1,5 years ago, maybe they changed it since this year. 2002 is an absurd joke and you know it.
think on it then. Had the concept of titling one as a criminal for stealing or a murderer for a killing a single person not come to play, the chances of cooperation and peace would be far more likely. The fact that people who pretend to have a higher moral standing than others feel it is their right to title someone for the rest of there life steals that persons chance from ever living without guilt, making the chance he/she would repeat such crime much higher. The only criminals or terrorists you see in this world are the ones you make, there is no one that deserves your anger of revenge because the assumes the person is so much different from you and what you want to do. They aren't, people in generally are very similar, they just look for the same thing in different ways. That in the end is the key to convince someone to act otherwise if need be, not by calling them a criminal and imaging yourself to be a person of greater morals.
Sorry I missed that post earlier, but now that I see it..
Number one - stealing and murdering ( even a single person) are still crimes of different categories I'd say, and it has little to do with "titling."
Number two - of course from secular point of view killing is probably the most serious crime one can commit, yet from religious point of view it's apparently not, since even the 10 Commandments as far as I noticed do not start with "Thou shall not kill."
So even though this gives some clues, some insight into the "different perspective" on things, and "higher moral standing" may be ( or may be not) justified, still it doesn't make people "generally similar."
Some are capable of murder, some are not. It's just that simple.
I don't know how deep you are in Christian eschatology, but it might surprise you, that those who reject the doctrine of everllasting hell are the most conservative Christians (at least in Germany as far as I can tell), this includes Jehova Witnesses to a certain degree, but we are going far off topic.
I don't know that myself, but thanks, I am going to follow your link))
P.S. I did follow it and - "Sorry - no matches or filtered words used in the search query. Please try some different terms."
We have AlDI in (relatively small 50,000+ ) town where I live in Wisconsin. But German products there are far and between. It's now mostly American products, although it USED to be a better selection of German ( and sometimes other European variety.)
Both Aldi and Lidl try hard to source the product locally, as opposed to importing from Germany. They're trying to appeal to local communities, not communities of German ex-pats etc.
