Introduction/Definition/etc
A new Aldi store opened
20190918 (sort order YYYYMMDD format)
and GrandOpening
20190919
where the old Babys (Sp?) R Us used to be,
behind Suds 24 hour laundromat (sp?)
(used to a meat on a stick sort of place, iirc)
across from a closed HG Gregg
now a Halloween PopUp store
(seasonal use of large retail space)
and only blocks away from a large homeless shelter
on Moncure...

For the directionally challenged,
BestBastards2018
(had a cheap/half price
but not where i got
SpinMasterBoxerBot2019
that was Tinner Hill Target,
and they don't have,
but might get from online and
delivered, idk, i don't like chasing
down delivery packages...
say down on Eisenhower Ave UPS /Brown
or whatever that one is on VanDorn)
Trader Joes (Brother Al_brecht?
bought into it? and main competition?
but Aldi Got high ground and 100's of parking spaces
all to themselves... Yes it's parking space day
and it would have been funny to take a portable
hammock from Aldi (Adventure Ridge
and occupy a parking space, still might work
and happen, for the XRoads/ Bailey's
named after the Circus, btw,
and some elephant, mouse, direct action,
imnsho...)
and a Performance Bike superstore
that discriminates/hates, imnsho
but there's a PetCo or similar pet store
(recent dead rabbits article teaser on Patch.com?
more ads than substance in those emails,
afaict...)
a vet around the cloverleaf closed down,
not sure it it's just an empty lot now,
and even RedneckGarage2013
is nearby, reminding one to have some fun,
spit on the garage floor, so many chemicals on there
anyways, adding some to the kitty litter
might not make a hill o beans, as they might say,
idk, i don't speak chew/chaw...,
Big and Tall type,
and some chain coffee type place
say Panera, for sake of argument,
not a StarB(f?)ucks that's going in
where the new Centros Harris Teeter
and a huge 3 ? level underground parking
garage, someone rumored they've applied/
gotten their alcohol license in/approve?
at a time that AmazonVille2018
renames Boeing Field/ aquatics
center, i seem to recall less
lives lost/ damage/ something
if they had more water, jet fuel
and burning didn't have enough pressure/
water to quench the flames,
possibly drowning the survivors, idk,
water flowing 9/11 memorial might
have something to do with that,
idk...
Anyways, i digress, as typically do,
the manager like guy,
who was there when i got there by 4.40am
pre dawn/ sunrise,
camping might have been fun,
if i had gotten more Aldi camping gear
(early season, not late,
and washing the now smelly sleeping bag,
(fwiw:
AldiMisc2019
could use an update...),
say the tent, self inflatable mat,
think ThermARest,
REI nearby
issues there
( in
BikeTechWheelBuilding
?)
and
City Diner (too spicy some think,
i may not have been there in forever,
walking thru late night/ early am
Carlin Springs going towards Seminary
out to i395 and the Kenmore Aldi
out back, further away...)
all competition with Dicks Sporting Goods,
which sells weapons, iirc,
(mentioned in?
eBikeCheating2017
)
and other stuff relates, the relation(s)
you might need to figure out,
as an exercise left for the reader,
Anyways still with a chip on my shoulder,
trying to get a working pressure cooker
with stainless steel bowl/pot
AldiAmbiano9In1ProgrammablePressureCooker2019
being the 8 quart DOA one?
AldiAmbianoPressureCooker2019
being the 6 quart (approximate, apparently litres (sp?)
may come into play, here and there, everywhere,
the online stuff says stainless
but it's not, coated something,
have to buy and open the beast
the photos don't match the (online) description,
an older 8/2019 AldiCantFind2019
numbers decreasing in quantity,
but not yet seen half price,
even traveling around 5 regional ?
Aldi stores, one scare tactics/ FUD
one reselling open boxed,
in the cart for restocking, but selling same
price and as new (seems wrong somehow,
but open box and display models
see and try what the product is,
one threatening get out of my store,
some body countering,
AlFromAlDiSaysNoPhotosOfMerch2019
and BadBunny2019
you'll get fired for such things,
perhaps, in a sane world,
which may actually be non German,
idk, NoSoupForYou
(ala SeinFeld's SoupNazi)
type line up, can't use a bathroom,
they when the second in line
a German man, immigrated but likes Trump?
a business man and had been to two other openings,
insisted upon coffee, donuts, i'm wondering
why not their own products, ordered from
Dunkin, and taking a long time,
i counter a big order, than glazed
not plain, and chocolate,
why not use their own,
be good to neighbors, the construction guys
probably using their bathrooms etc
and be nice to neighbors, etc...
I suggest a boxing match with him
about the size of that guy, but got a few decades
on him,
interesting conversations, early worker,
construction, wood worker, my thumb and
wood working and table saw stuff,
my first summer college job
not getting / liking cleaning toilets,
as not a required summer term,
and work study not an option,
ended up leaving/ losing a term,
costing thousands? leaving school,
a difficult summer and they closed the
college, but bad times, more later,
perhaps, love and safety devices
table saws and problems, culture shock,
and might be what some encounter,
idk...
Anyways, not eaten, cooked eggs
in AldiAmbiano9In1PressureCooker2019
model number might need
soft boiled? is 3 mins? hard boiled is 4 mins,
but ramp up +down natural release
time elapsed is more like 15-20
mins, so maybe back to oil (out of that...)
and tan glass skillet
So how many interrelated things can be mashed up
here,
pumped for information/ crowded out,
a photographer on Wednesday
tripod and everything Frontier the landlord?
I'm behind the guy and don't want to be photographed,
no information and missing day Zero information,
must see store for more info, nothing on the website,
answering a hijabi (sp?) woman's questions
her cell phone won't install the Aldi App,
the printed material on the sales thing
$5 off $30 but i don't have $20 in laundry
quarters and the list price is $40
or so, maybe we can work something out,
she likes the deep fryer it urns out at about $26?
I'm later thinking the new Ninja Foodie air fryer
is more interesting, but probably 10x the price,
I'm not sure, a new convection oven
in a glass bowl coming out, will see
the how do i clean if i put a rotisserie chicken
in the Ambiano one i bought about the same
time as the 8qt pressure cooker,
still a mystery, other demands/ wants, etc
Showed the
to a Latino child and mom,
but she spun around with camera on after i'd
put my hand to my face covering/ showing no photo,
(turns out there is a new Live StreetView Maps type
thing, the gDrug / Google entry didn't show Aldi,
opening, sign on the door opens Wednesday,
Thursday being the GrandReOpening
and all sorts of Twice as Nice (but not on
high ticket items like AldiCantFind2019
Can't Finds...)
So no county people coming?
a press event, that's not me,
people coming up,
stands and tapes/ lines formed,
a sign explaining first 100 people
get a number, then a Golden Envelope,
turns out another bag (small and not EtOH,
like HillWood? give away, i got there that evening,
thinking/ told there would be Pressure Cookers there,
but were all gone/ sold out, not sure how many months
that is now, months of not having and giving back
beans, no pressure cooker for you,
turns out the instructions want to soak for 3 hours,
dried beans/ lentils, but nothing online about it,
can't find the manual, the Aldi app not giving a link
to a manual, online, refer to,
like Crofton? Dutch +French Ovens
Not DishWasher Safe,
the wording worked, talks about how to wash,
but doesn't say not "dishwasher safe",
LegalSlease, here
some places/ things would be ...
plain language some Heese? certification
for clear/ easy language, but buzz word and marketing
got involved can't sell them
if say the box X out a dishwasher
Hands symbol (insert here from cell phone uniCode?)
No hands/ not machine, Luddite not clean enough
sterilizing and Yogurt functions
some say same as InstaPot (instant is the TradeMark?)
one book recently say MultiPot perhaps genericizing it,
and the new thing is a ceramic Pot
mine being discolored bottom, perhaps scrapeable,
but not scratch and non stick and back to stainless?
the thermal properties more like aluminum alloy
coated perhaps like a ceramic skillet/ (find part number,
box, and a ceramic peeler (sideways pull toward you
a sharp knife? as opposed to push sharpness away,
a variation further and month+ later was another part
number, maybe like a big stainless one comes out
holiday time but before SupperBowl Sunday/
FootBall January, timeframe, been going on a year
of this stuff, my new hobby seems to be correcting
and publishing the typos' printing errors,
and stocking tendencies of the stores,
an exercise bicycle 3 one visit,
discounted/ off and buy a
AllenSportsCZ2CargoTrailer2019
trailer to get it home, it doesn't go anywhere,
the Cubie Like small pedal machine,
one lady bought/buying one,
(let me know how it goes if you see me again)
I want to connect a trainer/ something exercisy
to power a manual ice cream machine,
back in the way, (think Lincoln walking to school
how many miles? in the snow, etc)
pre internet, pre lots of things, probably had electricity
but rural?
certainly not cell phones, photography was newish
paintings more popular, like on money,
but was that our president?
would you recognize someone,
with / without war paint aka makeup?
a 9/11 visit from the former president?
and background it's not safe here,
move along, they just threw me in
(stream out back, politics? call to action/
trial by fire type stuff?)
anyways, this is mess,
Im still upset, people jumping up to the front of the line,
another hijabi woman, i'm not sure how insistent some people
can be not going to the bakc of the line,
I'm tired and been prodded too much,
the carts, ($0.25 cents, one guy in a suit
prequartering the double wide (one of my few amusements
noticing a wider cart perhaps warehouse style,
and irony of BabyS RUs former site,
one kid one side, next kid second side,
maybe wider, heavier than the standard carts,
less likely to end up/over with a big kid(s)
and no load counter balancing as haven't filled
the cart with say water on sale,
or something ballasty/ heavy like
dog food/ rice whatever down under?
one guy arguing it seems, loud voice
wondering after donuts and coffee
I don't drink coffee, donuts i might have
i forgot/ didn't bring my food scale,
but not that tempted, wrap up
and the energy changed,
people i never saw go in,
twins like brothers one turns out to be a construction
manager for Aldi, the other works for a living
doesn't dress up, informal before opening,
the manager type guy even picking pu trash,
someone didn't use liner bags, and had
to manually move all the stuff,
then someone trying to lcena the cement side walk,
that is German someone said,
perhaps a way of getting bubble gum off the side walk,
sand blasting like or pressure washing
like graffitti (sp?) ?
no space fora bike rack,
i went back third day in a row, pre opening
and someone wanted me off the property,
why because he doesn't want to be photographed?
GDPR or similar rules/ the heckling/ harassment
ridicule up there with BadBunny2019
the cashier, still getting money in the register,
and that's mine i'm paying in rolled quarters?
and so much problems, the money is warm,
and they accepted it, but likely once inside
thinking I need a SAG card,
feeling used, two others nearby only got $10
gift cards, the surprise amount, have to open,
he not wanting to citing his wife,
who bought the card from him, or similar
get retirees out of the house,
Details like Over 18 Years old,
sweepstakes, and the free produce for a year,
but have to enter your info into the iPad,
privacy, and drawing later that day/ night,
by closing, i guess, more to be done,
(read fine print?) Marketing, one thing
they do in the US and WikiPedia history
of that, and PR, not as well known in the states,
but don't do/ bother with as much overseas,
dead trees, and app, but paper reminders,
and the shopping list, share to self,
and all those wish list items, it only sends
a few, but now looping over a year,
New Arrivals, Search Proposals,
QRCode not BarCode nor UPC
and have to go take an item to the register,
and learn to use a quarter, bring your own
(fold able trunk/ cart? not
AldiGardenLineGardenUtilityCart2019
for say getting
AldiGardenLineHammockWithStand2019
size and weight home,
much less
AldiBikeMateBikeWorkStand2019
or the supposedly portable,
hammock version (part number here)
which kinda does, but would need a trailer/
strap to the handlebars type bedroll
type stuff...
anyways, still pissed and likely put up the
photos of stuff the line of people v paid staff,
getting pretty ugly after a while,
I got what i went there and waited from 4.40 am
to opening 8 am,
and they say things like worked for it,
where's the W-2? W-4? etc
more like outside
JuryDayLabourors2016
abuse, exploitation, etc
Reasonable Accoomodations
never felt comfortable enough to pull the guy aside,
regional guy? on hold item, and privacy problem,
full name, phone number, etc
leave on teh corner of the counter,
for the rest of the day publlicizing
and privacy problems,
gang like people coming in the last minute
jumping in, talking over, trying to take over,
and i'm writing a story, doing my assignment,
and likely carried out/ arrested,
illogical stalking like statements,
violated the (protective?) order and
going back in type problems,
all for what could have been $100 but
2 out of 3 were $10 minimum
gift cards, getting your name and address
in a database maybe sending
$5 off $30 (the software is not likely smart enough
to find German names, derivatives of
(Americanized?) and other problems,
likely in the database and contacted after
2 other openings, to join the party,
and show them how to work out the kinks,
electronic door closing/ opening automagically
being one of them, filling trash cans with liners/
bags, giving bathroom access to people waiting
for hours for a what turns out to be a press
event, and could have been mayhem,
rioting, what i thought might be like
post Thanksgiving/ mall riots/ crushing/
Where's my Cabbage Patch Doll?
other limited quantities/ availbility
items, and you could have gotten it cheaper
at another store type stuff,
after the fact, spoiling and we don't like/want
you here type attitude, which is / may be
rather German, IDK, never been...
Are you happy?
No, I'm not,
It's part of the disability,
and part Vulcan, emotions don't really compute,
got what i came in for, that is all,
but it took forever, and was a push hime out/
kill off number one type environment
fairly typical i'm seeing of crowding and
exclusionary tactics, both sides of the lines,
afaict...
What doesn't he like let's do that,
and does national security,
respect for say Amish not photographed,
and other type of principles apply?
Are all Germans NeoNazis?
AntiSemites (sp?)?
HallaCaust war criminals/
Victims' Survivors?
I don't talk politics much, not good at it,
don't read the news, learniing one
the current events some elections or something,
and the Jewish state, Israel and perhaps targeting
i'm published as fodder for some things that don't have
much to do with it, and supposedly confidential
groups, and don't want to get into that,
this isn't the Middle East,
though the polarization and other problems
of hate, religion and discrimination,
likely do emigrate to the US,
and infiltrate (sp?) the local culture,
the first 100 people had the same chance
at $10-100 gift cards, enter in the sweepstakes,
keychain (holds a quarter, btw,
i though i had to cut
a slot in it, but later looked carefully,
on the other side,
already there,
but like other survivors, already bring
a cart/ wheelchair/ mobility device,
and had inner tubes, etc,
that might have helped in making a baby harness
type chest connection to get the relatively big box
home,
As far as did i ring that up, right/
change back from a $25 gift card,
could have left it (The difference) on the card,
taken the cash (2x $10 rolled quarters) first,
and
$25+$20
- $39.99 or whatever
+ tax (6%) food taxes at something different,
and technically Falls Church,
though might not be City,
food taxes at one thing,
and other items tax differently,
so the Gift Card is rechargeable
(get that back even if Zero Balance),
don't have to carry cash,
don't have to identify yourself,
as much,
as carrying things,
a PIN number to check the balance
say on app?
call in 800 type number(s)
and other online transactions type issues,
cash and some stores/ people trying to get rid of cash,
say a taxi driver got paid in cash and late night not safe
to have, got to a store and get it into something else,
less vulnerable carrying something,
money orders, write it to pay a bill,
but only good there,
really quarters back,
but lighter, to carry bills,
now how do i do laundry?
say $2 back, and washing machine v.
hand washing,
dedicates,
a ~$15 rolling expandable rack
that the legs fall out, not thru holes in the plastic base
pieces, and splays/ does a split,
luggage/ strap or shower curtain the things,
simple pins on the end , and it's would not go thru
but the plastic parts and
3DPrinter2012 a replacement part?
showing the difference/ design improvements?
Weld a Artistic Bike Rack and ask the
guys doing high power stuff to tack it on?
Say the guard rails?
What would PhoenixBikes say about that?
sweating water bottle
I don't speak for them, I didn't join the board,
and whatever, still not what i was there,
for perhaps noting the powers that be,
management layers and other forces
out of our control are involved,
but privacy and just following orders
go back to Neurenburg (sp?) trials,
and not a valid excuse for war crimes,
retail and/or civil...

gMaps review
Sneak peek 20190918 and Grand (re) Opening 20190919: Crowded opening but 1st 100 people got gift cards ranging from $10-100 (I got a $25, 2 others nearby got $10s). Too many cameras pointed at me, which I really don't like but with gift card and two rolls of laundry qtrs got a pressure cooker which is what I was there for after 8qt early in the year didn't work (ran ~2 mins Error 1 stops, consistently, Tempo not helpful) and service didn't have any more. Later smaller 6qt for $20-30 an odd older one with controls facing up from the bottom, got me pressure cooking dried beans months later. So was looking for a pot that doesn't discolor nor dishwasher clean well (too deep?). Online app description says 6qt is stainless steel pot, but not on box photo nor in box once bought, as fails magnet test, therefore nonferrous. Hoped it would be same pot and interchangeable but top likely not (curved edge differentli...) So spare parts likely can't find seal/gasket, and no ceramic option, like competitors and trends but does pressure, about all I've tried so far. Ymmv Updated: Photos end of month Monday am, decimated shelves compared to opening day. Disarray, opened boxes, pallets blocking opening, but staff there resupplying, etc
What's Missing?
best photos somehow replace by others
What Can Be Found?
like many places ok / good to start,
but the new shine wears off when people
have to actually work restocking and care,
which would be a rare thing for customer service
skill sets....
What Can Not Be Found?
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Assumptions
Time Limits
OpeningDay
implies sunlight, so line forms at Midnight?
at SunRise?
Which?
Nautical
First Light?
The sun rise, i could not see,
the building blocked it and the line formed,
waiting for hours might have been good to see,
a bit of a hill, probably can see sunSet
from there, facing West?
but sunDial and SouthFacing windows,
and other turning the building, low power
LEEDs? construction/ design, ecofriendly type approaches,
may exist, idk, not my building, not my pig,
not my farm, not my fight,
cleaning up the places where your mind
goes after being abused/exploited, etc
is a mess...
And difficult to write about,
clearly,
YMMV...
gMaps2019
review and photos put up and many have disappeared,
whole reviews are missing, someone reported and
trying to keep inflated positive only reviews,
silencing the problems and likely crimes
of discrimination, hate, exclusion
lying like saying someone stole,
when in the way of customers stocking
during the most busy days of the week,
Saturday afternoon say...
Fired?
Book Data
The manual for the Pressure Cooker
(separate link?) may have this...
real address Columbia Pike
according toe Aldi.us website
and opening day flyers/ coupon(s)
not LeesBurg Pike Rt 7 when at the intersection
but back behind stuff...
phone number is not of the store,
but have same number for lots of stores,
so calling may not do any good...
and who would answer?

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Will see, waited a day,
and calmed/ cooled down a bit,
but other RetailDiscrimination2012
and Apocolypse etc issues abound...
Sleep, eat, rest, relax,
Recover,
etc...
#Me2+1=3?
Told by some woman trying to stock
during a busy saturday afternoon,
when they seem to do mark downs,
shoes and other stuff on a rack last week,
this week told can not take photos of items/
products, against policy ,not written anywhere,
not on the door , not on their website,
and then when objected claimed falsely
that i stole, she may have bee nfired/
quit, will see, but risks going there,
trying to get a discounted
pressure cooker before they are all gone
given the last 8 quart one last year didn't work,
but multiple stores as of last week had them,
Dec 11, and bought in January, likely open
box and why it didn't work,
play the odds , pay double to get one that works
and have a few spare parts, extra stainless steel
bowl, and seal, lid, etc in case wears out,
6 quart labeling said stainless, but that one fails
the magnet test so not steel, and staining
badly by now, back and inside dishwasher
not getting that deep into the pot
a ring and bad bottom on the previous,
after doing beans so much,
a bag a week or so,
cleaning the lid, etc problems...
My best photos disappearing,
and where is it?
question by attacking/ bitchy manager
woman i hadn't seen/ met know name of...
The regional guy mentioned and seemed
she may have been fired, closing the store that
day, as would not operate without one
and/or violating rights and license temporarily
revoked by state official(s)...
All overheard as leaving,
say protective people,
walkie talkie
so might be false,
don't know
left for my safety
sniffling and sprayed likely
gang like hit techniques
from behind
(bp up, etc)
profiling stalking and threats
encountered for calling an ego based
abuser on her lies and threats,
likely illegal to restrict people from
using an accessibilty device,
and unposted/ unpublished exclusionary policies...
Not to mention the freedom of the press
and other issues...
Discussion
A place for feedback on the page presented
What is reasonable to expect for an opening?
If you've never been to one,
what Day Zero Exploits are expected?
would the fire marshall (sp?) wants to talk to you
be something you would respond to?
Is/was the person talking to you?
DeNiro in You Talking To Me?
After looking at Donuts of 10-15 mins
and can't have them?
Did they hold the people behind me
and let him get what he wants, crowds
can wait for the disabled guy with mobility
device so doesn't get trampled, etc?
Can;t but much more
not Guy's Grocery Games
ala CookingShows2017
is it?
What stampeded problems do you see with
100+ people, a parking lot that holds how many?
and pre holiday and other angst/ got to get me one of those,
type stuff?
Weld(e)RUp/Us?
A Bike Rack?
HillWood's got one,
but not in the current plan?
Put a weather station on the top,
and periscope up a how's sunrise?,
and/or Muslim prayer times
call to the mosque type arrangement?
What is the Great PumpKin?
What does it cost?
price per pound?
and/or i got there first and it was only
$5 for the biggest PumKin You've Ever Seen?
Are you Charlie Brown?
Does she always pull the ball away from you?
Got a cloud over your head and following you around?
What of Linus?
Does calming piano music help?
And/or should it be Waltzes and Polkas?
Does OctoberFest mean drunks to you?
How about Snitzel (sp?), Strudel,
and other S words I'm forgetting
(some noodles, likely not GlutenFree)
Spatzel?
Are you turning into a PumpKin?
Where's your chariot?
What of the glass slipper?
