Aldi and I


I must confess to having a secret fascination with the German Discount Supermarket chain; ALDI.
The branch close to where i work looks more like something out of coldwar Russia than a modern supermarket, and it is full of products that at first glance looks like the brands you normally buy, yet the spelling is slightly different; Bacardi might be Wacardi etc.
They also occasionally sell weird appliances like chainsaws and hand powered flashlights and I am drawn to these objects like a moth to a flame.
Last week they were selling metal detectors and night vision goggles at some insanely low price.
For a moment I thought it sounded like a really good deal, but then the truth hit me:
It must be part of some Serial Killer Profiling Scheme.
The moment someone lines up at the counter in ALDI with, say a pair of night vision goggles, a roll of duct tape and some black bin liners, the salesperson hits an alarm button and a SWAT team

will overpower the individual, who will be taken into custody and never seen again.
What will they think of next?

I must recommend their potato salad. They also have very good marinated chicken filets with mexi taste (whatever that is... ?).

In Swedish it's called LIDL just as the original German Supermarjet chain.
