225805 Rib Mountain Dr, Wausau“I enjoy shopping ALDI stores usually but there are times I can feel frustrated for them and me. This is not a location I frequent, but it was the last one between me and my destination. I ran in with my shopping list to pickup the couple items I need for the 4th of July and weekend.
Oh my, the store was pretty empty. I could only pick up 2 things on my list. I was disappointed to say the least. I now needed to come up with an alternative plan and add time on to my trip. No worries, it's nothing that a Super Walmart or other grocery store in town can't fix.
I asked an employee if they were going to be closed for the fourth and that's why they didn't have much of anything in the store. She responded that they would be open part of the day on the 4th. She also commented that it wasn't that they didn't have inventory in the back, they just didn't have time to stock shelves during the day. The clerk that handled my transaction, reiterated the same story as I checked out.
I assume they either lack employees or their management under anticipated the amount of manpower needed to run the store that day, IDK. But, I have never been to an ALDI with such low to no inventory out on the shelves.
It was sad to learn there was fresh produce and dairy, amongst other things on the premises but not available to the customers. For one, ALDI was missing out on a lot of sales, while their competition was getting their business and two, those fresh items were losing their shelf life while not even being available to be sold.
The poor staff looked like they had more than earned their pay that day. I can only imagine how stressful it must be to work in such a demanding position.
I'm hoping this isn't usual for this location. I will stop there again to see. But if I can't rely on them having the items I need, I'll go elsewhere and not waste my time stopping in.
Another observation I made was, with only a handful of people in the store, the first employee I spoke to walked through the store calling out that they would be closing in ten minutes. Which would be 20 minutes before their posted closing time. I thought to myself, wouldn't your last 30 minutes be better served getting out stock for those people in the store vs closing early... Hum.
As some other customers and I were making our way out of the store a couple was headed in, another customer was getting out of their car and a car was pulling into the parking lot. I thought, won't customers be surprised in about five minutes when they arrive and the doors are locked early. I would be irritated. But at least they wouldn't have to waste their time walking through the store to find out they didn't have what they wanted anyways.
I'm thankful this isn't my usual experience at Aldi stores.”

In my opinion I think they have the best fried chicken that Wausau has to offer, the best Pot roast too.. Oh and can't leave their green bean casserole out, delicious!!.”
“This place is far, far more up kept and cleaner than the one in Rib Mountain.Staff are nicer and more attentive.Highly recommend this location over the other one.”
