Greg, that's my experience here with the Aldi store ... the place
ALWAYS smells like sour milk/spilled dairy. Puke.

Yup, if that's the kind of face a place presents to the public you hafta
wonder what it's like *behind* the scenes...

A few years ago there was a convenience store around the block. I'd go into
to buy ice cream or something and the stuff was always extremely freezer
burned or such like. Turns out the idiots who owned the place turned the
freezer and dairy cases OFF at night to save money. The health dept. soon
closed them down. I'm thinking, "Hey, this is not Syria or wherever (place
was owned by some Middle Eastern guys)". Some people :-|
