Why shopper is furious after spotting 'huge problem' with Aldi trolleys - but not everyone agrees
A disgruntled customer has sparked debate after spotting a 'problem' with Aldi 's shopping trolleys outside a store. The customer took particular issue with the supermarket after noticing there were hardly any smaller shopping trolleys available during a visit to a store in Victoria. He shared a picture on social media showing three rows of larger 212L carts, each measuring 1.1m high, lined up in the bay - but no smaller versions in sight. 'ALDI WHY!? Every Aldi I go to has hundreds of large trolleys and only three small trolleys? Why is it so back to front?' the furious shopper said. The man explained that he avoids using larger trolleys due to his back problems. 'I don't want to hurt my back any further,' he said. The irritated shopper speculated that the smaller trolleys had disappeared because other customers were abandoning them along their walk home. It's understood there are no current plans for Aldi to phase out smaller trolleys. His post was met with dozens of comments, but not everyone agreed with him. 'Your back issues are not Aldi's problem,' one said. 'You can fit a small trolley's worth of goods into a big trolley, but you can't fit a big trolley's worth into a small trolley... therefore, big trolleys have more utility?' another pointed out. 'If small and big trolleys are troubling you, you may be missing the bigger picture here. Aldi has a system that utilises trolleys all the way through the shopping process to maximise efficiency. Those efficiencies result in lower prices for you. Just use the bigger trolley and get on with enjoying life,' one added. Meanwhile, another shopper weighed in, saying the man was lucky to have trolleys at all as their local Aldi store's bay is always empty during peak shopping hours. 'Not sure when they collect them because even on a Saturday morning, the trolley bay is empty from Friday night shopping,' they added. Back in June 2022, an Aldi spokesperson told Daily Mail the smaller trolleys were designed to provide shoppers - particularly pregnant mums and elderly people - with 'greater convenience'. 'We recognise that customers are looking for greater convenience when they visit our stores, as it's almost impossible not to pick up the excellent value products on offer,' the Aldi spokesperson said at the time. 'That's why we're introducing smaller trolleys across all our locations, so our customers can more efficiently pick up products while doing smaller grocery shops.'
