Aldi store assistant shares 5 secrets to working there
Known for its eclectic Specialbuys aisles, among other things, Aldi has plenty of secrets to working there that the general public might not know about. Store Assistant Georgina Phillips has shared some of the quirks and surprises that come with the job at the UK's fourth-largest supermarket. Georgina shares: "This is a real perk in the retail industry. Our breaks are paid - so whether I'm eating lunch or enjoying some downtime in between shifts, I'm still earning. "Over the course of a year, it adds up to around £1,370 extra in your pay packet, which can make a real difference." Aldi workers get trained across the whole store, so one day they might be stacking fruit and vegetables, and on another day they'll be on the tills. Georgina adds: "That flexibility means every Store Assistant can perform whatever role is needed at that time - which keeps queues down and things moving fast." A post shared by Aisle of Aldi Specialbuys (@aldispecialbuysuk) Aldi has a number of measures to help run things efficiently, including having larger barcodes to help with scanning. Georgina explains: "Even shelf packaging is designed for efficiency by being ready to slot straight onto the shelves. It's part of the reason Aldi can offer such great value." Georgina says: "Not only is Aldi the best-paying supermarket, but from free same-day GP appointments to discounted gym memberships and a dedicated wellbeing app, the benefits make a real difference too. "If my toddler is ever poorly, I can use Aldi's digital GP service and get help within hours – which is faster than my usual surgery. A post shared by Aisle of Aldi Specialbuys (@aldispecialbuysuk) "And the generous 28-day holiday allowance means I get to plan beach days with the kids without the stress."

Georgina says: "Ask me anything about the Specialbuys or wine picks and I probably know them inside out before they hit the shelves. "We're trained on everything in store, from the latest wine picks to the Super Six fruit and veg offers. "Knowing the layout and launches like the back of my hand means I can help shoppers find what they're after, and fast."
