Good luck! Do they get to sit like they do here in Germany? Sweet.

[bebeetmoi]

That's wonderful news! Wishing you the best of luck and hoping they'll be flexible with your shifts!

[rjamz]

Good luck!

Sent from my SPH-D710 using proboards

Good luck! Fingers crossed for good scheduling!

[TrudyCampbell]

Good luck! What type of store is Aldi?

[Deleted]

Good luck!

[Faevantastic]

I hope you get it!

The Aldi cashiers here get to sit the last time I shopped there. That was a few years ago. I never went back because I got a weird allergic reaction to these cheap grapes I bought so now I'm afraid to buy from there again.

oh good luck!

Yes childcare is ridiculous. This country really needs to come up with some kind of childcare assistance or something. It's ludicrous. Women who don't have high paying jobs (especially with more than one child) just are forced to be stay at home moms even if they would rather work outside the home.

So the message is: we ONLY value/want mothers in the workplace if they make a lot of money or if they have family willing to provide daycare for free.

It's a big beef I have with this country, just one way in which they do not support "the family" the way many (or all?!!) other countries seem to.

Well don't ya know that "family" means Dad as the breadwinner and a submissive wife at home to cook dinner every night and care for the 2.5 kids. That's 'merica!

Good luck, Gisa! I really hope you get it and they work with your schedule.

Good luck! I really hope they can work with you on the schedule!

Thanks y'all. Now the real question is what do I wear?
ETA: It is a job fair so I'm assuming they just interview right there

custom made outfit fashioned from Aldi grocery bags! So when they are thinking back.. now who seemed like they were most serious about this job what will the answer be? It could only EVER be the girl who wore the grocery bag outfit. There is no losing with this strategy

Good luck! We do a lot of our shopping at Aldi, since it's much more affordable than our other options. *Disclaimer: I am not a food "angel", so we eat lots of things many on here would be appalled at, and I'm okay with that.*

[Dorothy Zbornak]

We do 99% of our shopping at Aldi! It's awesome here and high quality.

I hope you get it!

 Good luck! Yes, the main Aldi cashiers sit, but the other cashiers only get called in when they get backed up, so "cashier" could also mean stocking, so be prepared for that.

And yeah, childcare is horrible. I've been a SAHM for over a year because we can't afford childcare for both kids (and there's no job that will let me work solely during school hours). As it is, I'm trying to get tutoring jobs just so I can pay someone to watch DS a few hours a week so I can volunteer in a classroom to get more experience.

Stupid capitalist society.
