Did they:

2. Keep carts with coin slots?
3. Make you bag your own stuff with no shelf after the cashier?
4. Keep those huge bottle return/crusher machines?
5. Pay for bags?
6. Have AldiTalk (prepaid SIMs) in the US?
7. Have MEDION electronic equipment?
1. only some have that.
2. Yes.
3. All have shelves
4. No, thats a european thing.
5. Yes.
6. The wireless regulations & business models are different here.
7. They do not sell consumer electronics aside from BPM and calculator, and scales as far as i can remember.
Its been 2 years so my memory is a lil fuzzy, but i plan to go again soon & score some of their very yummy & very inexpensive bagels...
