We, your loyal customers, request that you please reconsider your recent decision to start having your stores be open on certain holidays. Aldi has always been a family store, and it's one of many reasons why we enjoy shopping there. Your loyal customers have a personal relationship with your employees due to the size of your staff. We see the same people every time we shop, and look forward to chatting with them as we are rung up. It makes us happy that they get to spend time with their friends and family on the holidays, just like we do. It makes us feel proud to support a business that looks after the well being of their employees, and not just profits. We understood when you became open longer hours to fit more people's lifestyles. We stood by you when you became open on Sundays to keep up in the marketplace. We, however, do not support this. We know Aldi is a big box retailer, but we like it for it's small community feel. Please reconsider, and do what is best for the people who are the legs your company stands on. Thank you.
