Fruits & Veggies in Macon, GA

“Looking for down home country cooking? Dawson's kitchen has it by the bushel! Lots of charm and character in this quaint southern style buffet line. Save room for dessert because there's a large selection of sweets to choose from in their bakery.”

“To review the store, I love it. I will continue to shop here. The quality of food and other products is usually pretty good. The prices used to be better, but even Aldi, I guess, isn’t inmune to inflation. Right now, it’s trendy to shop Aldi. Hopefully the trend dies down some, because the demand is a bit much on the store staff. They can barely stock the shelves fast enough, and shoppers are leaving the isles disheveled. Maybe they should look into hiring more staff to compensate, as inflation is real and Aldi is affordable. With that said, I’ve never met an Aldi cashier or worker at this location that I didn’t like. They are always pleasant and welcoming. The current manager might be one of the best. He’s always on the store floor, pitching in by ringing up customers or stocking the isles. He always seems cool, calm and collected and he talks to the cashiers with respect and seems to have a good rapport. He even talks to us shoppers. This just adds to my love of shopping in this Aldi, good people and this store has always been synonymous.This may sound like a rant, but it’s worth noting. I’ve shopped this Aldi for YEARS. As a loyal customer, I’m sure I’m not alone in saying how these new customers are, I’m sure, great for the business but annoying for us who have shopped and enjoyed the peace and experience of going to Aldi. They all boast about the prices, while coming in and buying up everything, overcrowding isles, making messes and complaining about the lines. Yes, there is only ever one cashier, that is the service model Aldi has used since I’ve shopped here. Cashiers are also stocking the store when there isn’t a line. When the line gets long, they respond and open a second one. While I’ve always questioned if this model didn’t exploit the workers, I figure it’s a trade off of some responsibility since workers do not bag the actual groceries nor are they chasing after carts in the parking lot. So there is a level of simplicity that you do not get at any other store. I appreciate that. Instead of sharing that gratitude and admiring the work ethic Aldi requires, I’ve recently witnessed a couple new customers speak rudely to the hardworking cashiers or have entitled attitudes because the lines are too long. They never understand that shopping at Aldi is an experience in itself, or at least it used to be. What’s more is that these new shoppers are the same ones who complain about the “violence” on “that” side of town and villainize West Macon, yet here they are.”
