Aldi Job Event. Just the Facts, Ma'am.

Lonely Sign for Aldi: Where are all the eager cashiers?

Gentle Readers:

I attended a job event, or Hiring Event, at Aldi, a branch of a new grocery store chain opening some locations in Dallas soon. The following is my brief synopsis (Yes, I said Brief) Remember, these are solely my observations:
I got there about 7:30 (it started at 7:00). Upon entering, I was greeted by a super-caffienated but nice man in a suit.
While I was there I tried to notice how the other job seekers were dressed. One man was in jeans, one woman was in a dressy shirt, and the rest were not all that nicely dressed.
Extra item: I read in an article that the founders of Aldi are in their
80s. The German men (founders) are also private and reclusive, according to the article I found.
After filling out the application, I went to "The Table" to speak to a representative from Aldi. He will remain nameless, but, he had spiky hair and was very fast talking. He gave me the standard talk (was he getting tired of saying all that?). The Aldi representative never asked which location I would like to work at (there are 7 opening). It didn't seem like he was inviting questions. When I asked if there was a phone number I could call, he said that the company did not give out the number at job events. I then made the joke, "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You," and got no response.
So, Gentle Readers, I am suggesting that the reclusive, mum German founders might have had something to do with the reclusive, mum Recruiter.
There are more Hiring Events Feb. 9, 11, and 12 if you would like to attend. Also, be prepared to watch a gripping video.
Photos: the pictures were taken outside of Aldi on a very rainy morning. In case you want to use them as your wallpaper.



Another beautiful picture of the Aldi sign on Buckingham Road, in Garland.


Music listened to earlier: Walk Like an Egyptian (by the eternally saucy Bangles) and N.P.R. (National Public Radio). This is not music, only news, but I am supposed to be talking about me. So, another tidbit for you.
Gotta go. Practicing drums awaits. And More.
