I work at Aldi and was flown to Paris to do some ‘research’ on sweet treats
ALDI employees provided insight into their typical workday. That made people curious about a job.
Members of the brand’s social media team recently revealed that their “research” involves “consuming an excessive amount of sweets.”

This comes as the budget supermarket enters its ninth year as “proud sponsor of Team GB”.
Aldi flew some of its social media staff to France to cheer on British athletes competing in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
And of course to do some work.
Three days ago, they shared on TikTok that the team had “officially landed in Paris to cheer on the incredible Team GB”.
An average workday for these Aldi employees consisted of taking photos of croissants, relaxing in Aldi’s Olympic lounge and drinking iced coffee.
The staff joked that even surrounded by all the fantastic pastries Paris has to offer, they still opted for Aldi’s Specially Selected range.
They were also given a tour of Team GB House, an exclusive club for athletes, their loved ones and eligible employees to celebrate or relax while the Olympic Games are underway.
After indulging in some Aldi pastries and taking some photos, the social media team ended the day at one of the stadiums, where they watched a swimming competition.
After seeing Aldi’s social media team’s route to Paris, social media users began begging for jobs.
“Please hire me,” someone pleaded.
“Are there any jobs available?” asked another.
In March it was announced that Aldi had extended its sponsorship of Team GB for eight years.
The budget supermarket will continue to work with our fantastic athletes until the 2032 Olympic Games in Brisbane.
This means that some Team GB athletes still receive monthly supermarket shopping vouchers.
Among the lucky winners were gymnast Max Whitlock, weightlifter Emily Campbell, boxer Delicious Orie and swimmer Duncan Scott.
The partnership started in 2015.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts?
IF you have ever shopped at Aldi or Lidl, you have probably experienced the super-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s reputation as a fast supermarket is not without reason. The supermarket chain even claims that its checkouts are 40 percent faster than those of competitors.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible, which, the budget retailer claims, helps keep costs down for customers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging allow employees to scan items as quickly as possible. Most products have multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
Shelf-ready packaging is also used, keeping replenishment costs low.
